NEW YORK -- In 2012, Russell Wilson burst onto the scene, winning the starting quarterback position for the Seattle Seahawks as a third-round rookie. He started all 16 games that year, made the Pro Bowl, and became a Super Bowl champion the following season.

Now, transitioning to a new role, Wilson has joined CBS Sports' "The NFL Today" as an analyst. Recently, he expressed admiration for Chicago's Caleb Williams, highlighting similarities between their playing styles.

Watching Caleb Williams and how talented he is... he kinda reminds me of me when I was young... his ability to make plays and throw accurately on the move,

Caleb Williams had a standout rookie season, leading the NFL with six fourth-quarter comebacks and showcasing his skills in crucial moments, including a wild-card victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Comparing their first two seasons:

• Caleb Williams: 47 Pass TDs, 13 Ints, 60.3% Comp pct, 877 Rushing yards, 8 Fourth-quarter comebacks
• Russell Wilson: 52 Pass TDs, 19 Ints, 63.6% Comp pct, 1,028 Rushing yards, 6 Fourth-quarter comebacks

Former Bears offensive lineman Kyle Long commented on Williams' development, suggesting that improving in the second quarter could be key for his success.

When discussing breakout quarterbacks for 2026, Wilson mentioned Trevor Lawrence, praising his talent and the growth in their relationship as he enters his second year with Liam Coen.

Wilson also expressed confidence in his current teammate, Jaxson Dart, highlighting his competitiveness and work ethic as he adapts to a new scheme under coach John Harbaugh.

Looking ahead, Wilson believes that Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders will bounce back from injuries and have a strong season.

Wilson’s debut on "The NFL Today" is set for September 13, alongside host James Brown and analysts Bill Cowher, Nate Burleson, and Kyle Long.
