The great ones have one thing in common: They want more. They constantly challenge themselves.
LeBron James won in Miami, won in Cleveland, won in L.A. Tom Brady won in New England, won in Tampa Bay.
Russell Wilson is looking to join that elite group. After leading the Seahawks to their only Super Bowl title and rewriting the franchise’s record book, he and his model/singer wife Ciara and their children are headed to the Broncos where he’s wasted little time becoming part of the Denver community. But that’s not enough.
“My goal is to play 10 or 12 more years and hopefully win three or four more Super Bowls,” Wilson said at his introductory press conference. “That’s the plan. That’s mindset. That’s why I came here, to hopefully be able to finish my career here, and to finish on top as a champion and do it multiple times.”
If Wilson succeeds, he’ll join Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner, and Craig Morton as quarterbacks to win Super Bowl titles with more than one team.
Wilson wants more Super Bowl wins. The Broncos haven’t won a Super Bowl since 2016. How much more can a franchise and its quarterback want?
