Not Deion Sanders or Tyreek Hill, Quincy Wilson Reveals His True NFL Idol After Ravens Legend’s Heartwarming Message

“When I tell you I’m nice at the game, any game you see me in, I’m nice at it”. The lines came from a 16-year-old phenom recently who reigned in the track in the US Olympic trials. The pro demolished two U18 records in the 400m event in just two days last week and one of those records had stood for a whopping 42 years.

Furthermore, he competed in the trials final with the Olympians and staged a sub-44-second performance. However, the phenom missed the Olympic berth but won millions of fans (including Deion Sanders and Tyreek Hill) But do you know whose fan is Quincy Wilson? His idol comes from the NFL, the sport the teenager has a special love for. Notably, the same idol motivates him in sports to give it his all. 

Quincy Wilson adores a veteran from the Ravens 

A simple Google search will show Ray Lewis joining the Baltimore Ravens in 1996. After 12 years of that historic joining, Quincy Wilson was born. However, the sprinter does not care about such a factor as being off-track in defining his footing. Rather, expressing his fandom over the Ravens’ linebacker, he could easily say, “He [Ray Lewis] has been my dream person to go out.” In his recent conversation with Flo Track, the Bullis High School sophomore claimed that Ray Lewis had recently sent him a friend request with a beautiful message. 

The message read in Ray Lewis’ version, “Keep doing your thing. I’m always rooting for you.” That could mean the world to him as the message came from someone whom he had looked up to as a hero since his childhood. In explaining his connection with the Baltimore Ravens, Quincy Wilson let some splendid stories slip. 

His love for the Ravens comes from sharing his roots with Maryland. But in choosing the 49-year-old veteran as his idol, Wilson talks about his flamboyant entrance style into the field. The history maker finds his energy from those moves. And he does not want to forget his idol when the track world is swirling around him. 

That’s why he keeps a bobblehead of Ray Lewis in his trophy cabinet. Such a magnificent tale defines the bond between the individuals from a cross sports perspective. From that standpoint alone, both Coach Prime and Tyreek Hill’s fandom over Quincy Wilson is a tale to tell. 

Deion Sanders and Tyreek Hill acknowledge the wunderkind 

In Quincy Wilson’s list of idols, Deion Sanders (Coach Prime) and Tyreek Hill have failed to make an entry. However, in their books of heroes, the prodigy has found a place. Both the NFL legends kept a thorough eye on Quincy’s performances at Hayward Field and came up with their own takeouts from the superstar. 

In his acknowledgment of the talent house called Quincy Wilson, Deion Sanders aka Coach Prime penned some flowery sentences on X. The line “You are awesome” explained Deion’s taking from Quincy’s performance. Additionally, his elderly image enhanced the cherishing by, “God bless this young man Quincy Wilson.” On the other hand, for the Miami Dolphins wide receiver, it was about celebrating someone who has similarities with him. 

In his praise for Quincy Wilson, Tyreek Hill penned, “I don’t see enough people talking Quincy Wilson, bro 16 and out there competing.” In his teenage time, TH was a talented sprinter himself. But as time passed by, he found his symphony mixing sprinting with defensive skills. That has made the wide receiver what he is today. It is about reminiscing the legacies they have left behind. However, both these NFL legends have wished for a better future for the athlete. Quincy Wilson is out to create a vortex with flourish.
