Russell Wilson Giving up Spot as Pro Bowl Starting QB to Drew Brees
No one can ever question whether or not Russell Wilson is one heck of a guy.
With the 2020 Pro Bowl all set for Sunday afternoon, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback is making headlines for an awesome gesture. Yup, he's giving his spot as starting quarterback to the one and only Drew Brees.

Wilson is giving up the starting spot he earned so the New Orleans Saints signal caller can get the start in what is his 13th and potentially final Pro Bowl.
Brees has yet to make a decision on his future. While his job is expected to be waiting for him, he could end up retiring instead.
Russell Wilson giving his starting Pro Bowl spot to Drew Brees is.... interesting. Retirement gift perhaps?

Even if Brees does come back, this is an awesome gesture by Wilson. The game itself does not count, but it is an incredible honor to reach the Pro Bowl and Brees will be in the spotlight as the starter when the viewership should be at its highest.
