Seahawks Quarterback Russell Wilson Talks Surface Pro 2 and Microsoft's Ecosystem

Russell Wilson is no longer an Apple guy

Microsoft's deal with the National Football League to showcase Surface Pro 2 hardware during games got off to a rocky start when TV commentators and players alike repeatedly referred to the devices as iPads. That amounted to free advertising for the competition, for which Microsoft paid good money ($400 million), but that's all in the past. Furthermore, Microsoft's Surface deal with the NFL is winning over players, including Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who revealed a dark secret.
The folks at Engadget met up with Wilson at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, which is where the Seahawks practice. While speaking with him, Wilson revealed that he used to be an Apple guy -- an APPLE GUY! It's a shame he's willing to admit, though he doesn't tell people about it all that often.
These days, he's a fan of Microsoft's ecosystem. He told Engadget that the Surface Pro 2 tablets Microsoft has been providing to teams has helped improve productivity for himself and the rest of the Seahawks as well.
"Regardless of his previous interest in Cupertino products, he's now fully invested in the Microsoft ecosystem. Seriously, he really loves all things Microsoft," Engadget says.
