Not too long ago, Russell Wilson was just a rook with a baby face, but today he’s a football graybeard. The man’s hit the big 3-5, and after schooling the Browns in a gridiron showdown, Wilson dropped some post-game truth bombs, channeling his inner Tom Brady.

In the post-match powwow, the comeback king spilled the beans, saying, “I remember coming into this league 12 years ago, and my goal is to play over 40 plus. I feel great, I feel Young…” Sounds like a stretch? Well, last year, maybe. But after taking down the Browns like a seasoned pro, this year it’s not such a wild dream anymore.

Wilson spilled his secret sauce for staying in the game, a daily grind mentality that cements his legacy and an “obsession” and “passion” for the pigskin. Oh, and did we mention he’s still got some wheels at 35? Watch out, NFL, because Wilson’s aging like fine wine, and the legend is just getting started.

Wilson’s pact: Six games left and a playoff quest unleashed

Fast forward to this season, and it’s been a full-blown quest for that winning formula.
