Pete Carroll: 'Russell Wilson ready to excel in Super Bowl'

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll believes that quarterback Russell Wilson is ready to take the big stage and excel in the Super Bowl.

Wilson will play in the NFL title game in just his second season in the league and will look to secure his first Vince Lombardi Trophy at the age of just 25 when his side face off against the Denver Broncos.

"Russell is exactly where he's always pictured he'd be in life," Carroll told SI.com.

"He prepares impeccably, and he has prepared like that this week. I think he is ready to play a very good game."

Wilson threw for 3,357 yards along with 26 touchdowns in the 2013 regular season.
