Wilson testified in the interview: "Jesus is love! At the end of the day, we are all looking for someone to comfort us, somebody to be there for us at all times. When we are at the worst times of our lives, when we are battling with something, or struggles, whatever it may be, when we are at our highest point as well, when things are going really well, we want somebody to comfort us and be there for us and to say, 'Well done.' That's Jesus!"


  He added, "Jesus has always been there. He'll never leave you, never forsake you."

During the interview, Wilson was joined by Rocky Seto, who is on the Seahawks coaching staff, who said, "Literally, Jesus is the greatest treasure in the universe. It just makes sense. It's not like you give up your life and then you get something worse. He gave us everything. We had nothing, He gave us everything, so literally it's just one plus one equals two, it's that simple. Jesus is better than anything… even better than the Super Bowl, better than an NFL career, any of that."



Driscoll asked the Seahawks' group, "Who is Jesus?" to which Seto responded: "Who knows what's going to happen, but if we were ever to win the Super Bowl… [we will] tell everyone that Jesus is still better."With Wilson and the other Seahawks nodding in agreement, Seto added: "Because as much as we worship this thing called 'the ring' in a championship, although we would like to have one for sure, I just can't wait to tell people, if that happens, God willing, we'll be able to tell people Jesus is way better still because you are going to wake up the next day, more brief here
