Russell Wilson, the 14-year NFL veteran, has announced his retirement, and his wife, singer Ciara, paid a sweet tribute to him. Wilson shared a video on social media, thanking his fans, family, and the Seahawks, saying 'Thank You, Football.' Ciara commented, 'The best in the world! There’s only one, 3! Always so proud of you! It’s a true blessing to go on this journey with you! My greatest inspiration! I love you so much!'
Wilson, 37, will join CBS Sports as part of 'The NFL Today' after his retirement. He had a successful career with the Seahawks, guiding them to consecutive Super Bowl appearances and earning Pro Bowl honors in nine of his first 10 seasons.
Wilson retires with impressive statistical achievements, including 46,966 passing yards and 353 touchdowns. He is one of the few quarterbacks in NFL history with more than 45,000 passing yards, at least 350 passing touchdowns, and 30 rushing touchdowns.
With his playing career complete, attention has shifted toward his Hall of Fame credentials. Wilson's resume includes a Super Bowl championship, multiple playoff runs, and a decade of elite production.
