There’s no bigger storyline in the NFL in Week 1 than Russell Wilson’s return to Seattle. Wilson, who was drafted by the Seahawks in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, played 10 seasons in Seattle, making nine Pro Bowls and winning Super Bowl XLVIII over the Broncos. 

Wilson was traded to the Broncos March 8 in exchange for five future draft picks and three players — quarterback Drew Lock, defensive end Shelby Harris and tight end Noah Fant. Now Wilson will face his old team in what will be a raucous crowd at Lumen Field.
