Watch Russell Wilson crush a home run at Rangers camp
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson probably isn’t going to quit his day job. The 26-year-old already has a Super Bowl ring, and is set to receive a massive pay raise this offseason.

But, if he ever wanted a change, Wilson could turn to baseball. Wilson was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in 2010, but was acquired by the Texas Rangers in 2013. He’s attended Rangers spring training in each of the past two seasons. Tim Brown profiled Wilson’s most recent appearance at Rangers camp.
Turns out, Wilson has some skills on the diamond.
Hey, that’s not a bad swing!
While Wilson told Brown he would “never say never” when it came to giving baseball another shot, it appears he’s more focused on his football career at the moment.

That decision is probably for the best. Wilson has experienced a ton of success on the football field, and the Rangers already have a promising, young second baseman in Roughned Odor.
That’s not to say it wouldn’t be entertaining. It’s been quite some time since Deion Sanders suited up for both leagues.
