Seahawks rookie chooses No. 3 to pay tribute to Wilson
The Seahawks' No. 3 NFL jerseys will return to the field. Russell Wilson wore this number and entered the Pro Bowl 9 times in 10 years. This year's second-round pick, safety Nick Emmanwory, chose this number. This is the first time a player will wear this number since Wilson was traded to the Broncos in 2022. Wilson wore this number and entered the Pro Bowl 9 times in 10 years.
Emmanwory was the most amazing player in this year's joint physical test camp, but in the draft, he failed to become the expected first-round pick and was eventually picked by the Seahawks in the second round. This is a pretty satisfactory result for Emmanwory, who has been a Wilson fan since childhood.
Although Emmanwory likes Wilson very much, he actually has no plan to wear the No. 3 Seattle Seahawks football jersey. He originally hoped to get the No. 7 he wore in college, but this number was already owned by the team's linebacker Nwosu.
