The Facts:
Wilson’s impressive performance throwing the ball was the main attraction during rookie mini-camp a year ago. And his continued development did not go unnoticed by HC Pete Carroll when OTAs opened Monday. “He’s threw a couple of balls today, things that we talked about over the offseason that he’d like to take a shot at, and he did it today just to see what would happen with full awareness of why he was doing it,” Carroll said. “We were talking about trying to throw the deep ball last year over guys’ outside shoulder; we’re just a million miles ahead of where we were. He’s the kind of player that will affect other guys – he affects everyone around him – and hopefully that will help everyone play better and faster.”

Wilson weighed 209 pounds in his rookie season, but now carries 215 pounds on his 5-11 frame. Wilson said the execution of Seattle’s offense was solid on the first day of OTAs. “Compared to where we were last year," he said, "compared to where we were last week, I think we’re miles and miles ahead. ...” And that should be music to the ears of fantasy owners.
