K.J. Wright was on the Richard Sherman podcast. He and the podcast’s host were teammates of Wilson’s during the Legion of Boom years when Seattle went to two Super Bowls and won one.
On the podcast, Wright revealed that the quarterback was not treated the same way as his teammates were:
Wright went on to say that it was frustrating that Wilson wasn’t held accountable for his mistakes like the rest of the team was:
He finished by admitting that as the young quarterback got older, he had more responsibility placed on him:
Wright and Wilson were teammates for nine seasons in Seattle before Wright left for Las Vegas and then retired.
Who was more responsible for the Seahawks success: their elite defense or Russell Wilson?
There is no genuine answer to this question, as football is the ultimate team sport. There are 22 men who can impact the game, 11 of them on the field at a time. The quarterback, while being the most important position, is only one of many players.
Wilson is a good quarterback, something that is paramount to having a winning team. However, Wright was part of the Legion of Boom, one of the NFL’s best and stingiest defenses for many years.
They were both required for success, as it’s difficult to win without a good quarterback and winning is a lot easier with a smothering defense.
