NFL News: Russell Wilson's Commencement Speech

The American footballer of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was on-hand to deliver the commencement speech that featured both funny and moving moments.

"I'm also here to share some things I've learned," he joked at the beginning of his talk before referencing his engagement to Ciara. "Things like if you're dating a woman that's way out of your league, ask her to marry you."

He continued, "And if you're playing the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl and you've got 26 seconds left and you're down by four and it's second-and-goal on their 1-yard line, try not to throw an interception. That's purely, purely hypothetical though, of course."

Russell shared the love for music.

"Let me put it this way: I love singing Michael Jackson, I'm Michael Jackson's Tito. I'm Janet Jackson's long lost brother," he explained. "But no matter how badly I want to be a pop star, it would not matter how much self-confidence I had or have or how many hours I spend at the studio. Trust me on this. I cannot sing."

He continued, "So the question I asked when life told me no was: What am I capable of? Am I capable of doing what I want to do? I really had to think about it. And when it came to playing quarterback, the answer was yes."

He acknowledge his late father who had a large influence on his life.

"I miss my dad every single day. People have asked me if I had five more minutes with him, what would I say to him? But I wouldn't say anything at all. I'd just hug him. That's what I'd do," he shared. "I feel blessed knowing that if he were here today, the thing that he'd most be proud of isn't a Super Bowl ring or a new contract or a big speech at Camp Randall. He'd be proud of my family...So that's my third charge to the graduates."
