One of Russell Wilson's greatest strengths is his deep ball passes. He always seems to be able to flick his wrist and just drop passes perfectly in his receivers' arms. That pass was on display last season early and often, including his 51-yard playoff touchdown pass to DK Metcalf against the Rams.
NFL.com writer Nick Shook took notice of Wilson's long-ball prowess last week while ranking the top 10 deep passers of 2020. Wilson slotted in at No. 8 in the league as Shook used a combination of Next Gen Stats to fill out his list. Here's what he wrote about Russ:
"No one was more productive on the scoring front when going deep than Wilson, as he led the league in deep passing touchdowns with 13. Four of those came on the run, which was an NFL-best in such scenarios. Wilson initially landed ninth on this list, but we've bumped him up a place to give him the credit he deserves for his continued excellence. He has been the top downfield passer in the NFL since the advent of the Next Gen Stats era in 2016, leading the league in passing yards (5,369), passing touchdowns (56), completions (156) and attempts (378) in that span. He's also one of just two quarterbacks (joining Matthew Stafford) with a completion percentage over expectation of +3 or better in each of the last four seasons. While he wasn't the best when going deep in 2020, he's been the top dog since we started tracking these advanced metrics a few years ago."
