"Too short"

Here are some quick stats for you:

2011 Passing
Andrew Luck - 288/404 (71.3%), 3517 yds. 37 TDs, 10 INTs, IAYPA 7.47

Robert Griffin III - 267/369 (72.4%), 3998 yds. 36 TDs, 6 INTs, IAYPA 10.02

Russell Wilson - 225/309 (72.8%), 3175 yds. 33 TDs, 4 INTs, IAYPA 9.63


The Seahawks picked Wilson in the 3rd round. He was available that low because he's 5'11". Low end: Seneca Wallace. High end: Drew Brees.

Wilson was the starter for 3 years at NC State, but transferred to Wisconsin for his senior year, where he put up those stats. Here's a video of him being chased around by the Seahawks first-round pick, Bruce Irvin, at the 2010 Champs Sports Bowl:
