This kid is going to be a super star

Since coming out of Wisconsin, Wilson has set or tied rookie records for highest Lewin Career Forecast projection, touchdown passes, single-game DYAR (twice), and total season DYAR. When you include Wilson’s four rushing scores, only Cam Newton (21 touchdowns passing, 14 rushing) produced more combined touchdowns in his first year. In the last half of the year, Wilson threw 16 touchdowns and two interceptions and led the NFL in passing DVOA. Over the course of the season, he was third in DVOA when trailing or tied in the fourth quarter or overtime (behind only Peyton Manning and Tom Brady) and fourth in DVOA on third downs (behind Manning, Brady, and Aaron Rodgers). He was also third in DVOA on deep passes.
The Seahawks worked around Wilson’s height by putting him in motion. Including scrambles, he had a league-high 163 plays outside the pocket, with a DVOA of 39.3%. If defenses wanted to blitz the edge and keep Wilson in the pocket, that was OK too—his DVOA there was 37.8%, one of the ten best in football and better than Super Bowl winners like Drew Brees, Eli Manning, and Ben Roethlisberger. Finally, he was second to Cam Newton among quarterbacks in rushing DYAR.

If you have questions about some of those stats, a glossary can be found here, but the point is actually pretty simple. 19 quarterbacks in the NFL history have thrown at least 100 passes in their rookie seasons after being selected in the third round, and Wilson's year wasn't just historically significant from that perspective; it was just short of revolutionary. His 100.00 passer rating and 7.10 Net Yards per Attempt were by far the highest for any third-round rookie in NFL history, and among third-round quarterbacks in any year of their careers. By any measure, Wilson's rookie season was one of the more successful at his position in the history of pro football.

this dude is a beast, if he had a coach with common sense in college he would've been in the national championship game. Of course they would've lost to LSU but hey.

This kid is a stud.
