Interesting comments from Russell. Something must have been said or asked about playing both sports professionally because Tysiac mentions Russell thinking he can be a Hall of Fame player in both sports. I have heard one story that suggests he could turn pro in baseball, pay his own way to school, and play college football next year here at NC State. That may not be realistic, but the story was used to describe how driven Russell is towards playing both sports.
But Wilson downplayed that concern (over financial issues and father’s health) Tuesday during his weekly news conference with reporters.
“It’s not a huge factor for me,” he said. “I know the Lord will bless me at the right time whenever it is, whether it’s in the spring time, whether it’s in the fall of next year or whether it’s the spring after that. So I’m not really worried about that. In terms of financial reasons, like I said, I feel like the right situation will happen at the right time.”
