Russell Wilson? Overcoming the odds?

Not many under 6 feet tall quarterbacks in the NFL.

There was Doug Flutie and Jerry Rhome (QB at my HS); and probably Tarkington and Theisman.

I believe I heard one of the guys calling the Seattle/SF game say that Wilson had told someone questioning his height that if he was 6’4” he still wouldn’t be able to see over the defensive linemen and linebackers who are 6’7 or 6’8”. I thought that was a great retort by Wilson.
