Two years later, he led <?xml:namespace prefix = "st1" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Seattle</st1:place></st1:City> to the playoffs in his two years starting for the team, and led the Seahawks to their first Super Bowl win in franchise history. Along the way, Russell silenced doubters who said that he was too short to be an NFL starting quarterback, marking career milestones such as the most regular-season wins by a quarterback in his first two seasons, with 24, and being named the 2012 Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year. This commemorative book examines the young phenom’s career from <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">North Carolina</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">State</st1:PlaceType> to <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Wisconsin</st1:place></st1:State>, with a detour into professional baseball, and through the Super Bowl XLVIII win.
