Russell Wilson has just Touched Down as our second ESSENCE Sexiest Man of the Moment cover star.
Russell Wilson’s talent knows no bounds. When you think you know what to expect, he flips expectations and pushes the boundaries of what we believe an athlete should be. Versatility, by definition, is the ability to adapt. Versatility personified is Russell Wilson.
Throughout his storied tenure in the NFL, Russell has achieved unimaginable success on the gridiron. With a dynamic skill set and unique leadership qualities, he has established himself as a preeminent figure not only in football but also in entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and entertainment.
By refusing to let conventional restrictions box him in, Wilson has helped to break the mold of what the modern sports star can be.
Knowing who he is and whose he is – is the reason he will always be the top pick and topic
of conversation.
