Russell Wilson May Never Recover From Being Told He Looks Like "A Sack Of Potatoes"
TMZ Sports - Russell Wilson clearly ain't winning any beauty pageants if Tariq Woolen is a judge -- the Seahawks star says he couldn't have been less impressed by the quarterback's physique this year, comparing it to a bag of spuds!!!
Woolen let the jabs fly on the "2 Up 2 Down Podcast" earlier this month ... when the rookie cornerback was asked what his first impressions of Wilson were when the Hawks played the Broncos back in September.
Woolen said he expected to see a well-built athlete -- given that he had watched Russ on TV for the last decade or so -- but when the signal-caller appeared before him at Lumen Field ... he said he was downright shocked.
"When you see him in person, it's like, weird," the 6-foot-4, 210-pound defensive back said. "He's like a sack of potatoes."
Tariq Woolen with an all time line. I guess it's hard to laugh here because Russell Wilson is in better shape than 97.1 % of the people reading this, and definitely in better shape than the author writing it (although I have been dropping the lbs of late) so if this were a schoolyard argument, he would have the trump card that shuts everyone back up. With that said, it's still very funny to have one of his peers call him a sack of potatoes. You know that line got around the locker-rooms, and will be ammo anytime a defender needs to talk trash to Wilson on Sunday (or Monday,Thursday,Saturday,and this year Friday considering the NFL plays every day now.
The delivery was also so casual from Woolen, you can tell he didn't really plan this ahead. Just off the cuff and nailed it. The only critique at this point you can really give is was it the best insult involving groceries he could have said ? I think it may have been the Home Run, but just for shits and giggles. Here's a handful of runner ups off the top of my head.
