Russell Wilson: Embracing His Alter Ego “Mr. Unlimited” Ahead of Giants Season
The spotlight is back on Russell Wilson as he steps into his new role as quarterback for the New York Giants. During a recent appearance on WFAN, Wilson addressed his infamous 2018 social media character, Mr. Unlimited, with confidence and no regrets.
The Origin of “Mr. Unlimited”
In May 2018, while still with the Seattle Seahawks, Wilson introduced the world to Mr. Unlimited in a 60-second social media video. With a mix of humor and seriousness, he proclaimed:
“Everybody has to have an alter ego…his name is Mr. Unliiiimited. You gotta be unliiiiimited, you gotta have a thought process of being unliiiiimited.”
This video quickly became a fan favorite and a subject of playful ridicule, but Wilson remains unbothered.
No Regrets, Just Pride
During his recent chat with host Gregg Giannotti, Wilson assured fans:
“I would still do it, man. I got kids saying, ‘Unliiiiimited.’”
Wilson’s enduring enthusiasm for his alter ego highlights his resilience and commitment to self-motivation.
A Rollercoaster Journey
Wilson’s career has seen quite a few twists and turns:
- 2018: Introduced Mr. Unlimited
- 2022: Traded to the Denver Broncos, which ended on a sour note

- 2025: Signs with the New York Giants
Now, he is gearing up for his first season as the Giants’ quarterback after signing a one-year contract worth $10.5 million guaranteed.

As he prepares for the upcoming season, Wilson expressed excitement:
“I’m excited about this year.”
The Giants are coming off a challenging 3-14 season, looking to turn things around when they kick off their 2025 campaign against Washington on September 7.
Fan Engagement
In a light-hearted moment, while wrapping up his interview, Giannotti and co-host Boomer Esiason led a chant of “unliiiiimited” alongside Wilson. Giannotti’s playful request was simple:
“Get some wins, make our job easier, please. Score some touchdowns, we need some touchdowns.”
This fan engagement underscores the high hopes for Wilson and the team as they embark on a new season.
