Good morning, 12s. Here's a look at what's out there today — Monday, February 7 — about your Seattle Seahawks.

Russell Wilson To Receive 2022 Bart Starr Award At Athletes In Action Super Bowl Breakfast

Fresh off of last week's Pro Bowl festivities and setting a new record in the Precision Passing challenge, Russell Wilson is set to be bestowed with another honor when he takes home the 2022 Bart Starr Award at the Athletes In Action 2022 Super Bowl Breakfast this Saturday, February 12.

Wilson was announced as the winner of the award last month based on his outstanding character and leadership in the home, on the field and in the community. The veteran quarterback has long been known for his charitable and philanthropic efforts, like when he and wife Ciara presented a $2.7 million check to Immuno Heroes earlier this season, or Wilson's free charter school, Why Not You Academy, which opened just south of Seattle last fall for the 2021-22 school year.

Athletes In Action is an organization that connects athletes and coaches to a community where they can "develop holistically and discover purpose both during and after their competing career." It helps athletes find camps to develop their skills on the field and provides mentorship opportunities off the field, and also helps coaches with team-building exercises and coaching clinics.

Athletes In Action first handed out the Bart Starr Award to Seahawks Legend Steve Largent in 1989.

You can watch the presentation of the Bart Starr Award during the Super Bowl Breakfast Online Program on the Athletes In Action website, premiering on Saturday. The program will also feature NFL legends Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, and Jackie Slater, along with current stars like Demario Davis, Justin Simmons, and Matthew Slater.
