Russell Wilson, giving Wisconsin commencement speech: Tom O’Brien said ‘you’re never going to play in NFL’
That was the spring and summer of 2011; fast forward to May of 2016, and Wilson gave the commencement address at UW. And Wilson added to his version of the narrative by stretching it to the point of breaking.
The summer before my senior year of college, I’m playing minor-league baseball. I called my football coach at NC State and said, ‘Hey coach, I’d like to come back for my senior year.’ He told me I wasn’t coming back. He said, ‘Listen son, you’re never going to play in the National Football League. You’re too small. There’s no chance. You’ve got no shot. Give it up.’ Of course, I’m on this side of the phone saying, ‘So you’re telling me I’m not coming back to NC State? I won’t see the field?’ He said, ‘No son, you won’t see the field.’ Now this was everything I had worked for. And now it was completely gone. If I wanted to follow my dream I had to leave NC State. I had no idea if I would get a second chance somewhere else.

Ex-Wolfpack lineman blisters Russell Wilson as “‘me’ player” in social media diatribe
A senior during Wilson’s redshirt freshman season, Kalani Heppe acknowledged in a NSFW social media posting “how much I despise Tom O’Brien on a molecular level.” With that out of the way, Heppe proceeded to rip into Wilson, saying, among other things, the Pro Bowl quarterback “was a ‘me’ player” and “it was really hard for Russell to field punts and play safety when his head was firmly lodged up all the offensive coaches (sic) ass on a daily basis.

SoCal, Baby!
Looking at where Russell Wilson is today, it's hard for me to see the validity of criticizing him for a reluctance to field punts or play safety.
Does anyone seriously believe that Roethlisberger, Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady are not "me players?" I'd hope they are. Franchise QBs with that kind of ability need to be sure the team is built to promote their success.

Question though... those you listed... do they try to come off as anything other than "Me players". I think the thing about Wilson that rubs people the wrong way, he tries to be Tebow but comes off as manufactured and fake.
side note: I'd love O'Brien to come out and take credit for motivating Wilson to get to the next level
