I was in the fourth row and all the students loved it. Many were initially skeptical of him, but he defied expectations and delivered powerful messages. Be the inspiration for others. Make your legacy a daily commitment- it will outlive your physical life on earth. Always ask: why not you? Be the king or queen in the crowd.
Inviting a football player as a commencement speaker. Many academics and students hadn’t heard of him. I know, I’m a hawks fan and it’s crazy to think that, but it’s true.
Russell Wilson has a strong foundation that keeps him firmly planted and grounded in purpose no matter what others say about him. He doesn’t have to prove anything to a fool and I love it! Great speech Russell! It wasn’t a bunch of gibberish that left people empty but meaningful with substance that everyone can glean from and take with into the next phase of life. Super job! “WHY NOT YOU!”
Ok Ciara, you husband can sing. Simply WOW! I was moved to laughter, tears and most importantly INSPIRED! This was an AWESOME speech Mr Wilson. Job Well Done 👏 by a king that has the stage of the world!
What a powerful inspiring speech. Not only is he a phenomenal, professional athlete, he's also a humble man who speaks his knowledgeable truth's so eloquently. Awesome power couple he & Ciara. Thank you Mr. Russell. 🙏
This was very special with your Uncle Ben there and the family support. Russ how awesome you started your speech the way your Dad did. You are the truth. This was awesome. "Why Not You"
Timeless speech and message! I was in the audience as a graduate and loved his message and keep coming back to it! “Always ask: Why not you? .. Act as though you matter… There’s a king and queen in every room “
I binge watch commencement speeches. I've seen this one pop up a number of times but ignored it. Well I finally did! Schooled me! This is by far one of the best ones I've listened to!
This is a top notch commencement speech! Why not me? My name carries weight. His stories are great even including the Langston Hughes poem and the Marvin Sapp song. He definitely is an excellent speaker.
He inspires me this gentleman...He's Amazing. I'm in Ivory cost but i wish to be like him even thought my official language french. How do you do🤔? Tell me please!

Good evening, Russell you also look good and your wife is sexy and elegant, yours have a beautiful family and we have to thank God because God is good all the time. stay safe.
Why are there random people walking in the back during your ceremony? What I learned this year from attending UPenn’s commencement is Ivies have some great things going for them but your commencement ceremonies, for institutions as old and prestigious as these universities are, are not your strong suit. 🤦🏻♀️

What a powerful and inspirational message from Russell Wilson ! Why Not You? Congratulations to the Class of ‘22!

Skeptical of what? 🤨
What in the world were they skeptical of?

skeptical? .......typical
Impressive, the more I learn about Russell Wilson, the more of a fan I become. 👏
Russell Wilson is a Class Act
Such a great speaker. Once he retires from football I could see him being a great speaker. The man has many gifts. Congrats Wilson family.
This made me cry.. so inspirational. One of the best commencement speeches I’ve heard
Russell is yet another testament to how important it is to have a Father in your life.
Congratulations class of 22 what a treat to have Russell Wilson and Ciara to christen the ceremony. Blessings 🙌 💛 🙌 💛

Russell Wilson What A Godly Man, You are truly a Servant of God. You Bless Us during this speech. We are praying for you and your family.
This is inspiring!! Loved every moment from the beginning to the end. Russell, you are an amazing man!
An Ex-NFL player recently called him "square". Well, if that is what "square" looks like... I'll be "square" anytime.
That's exactly what one of his teammates said. If taking care of his family is square then sign me up
👏🏽 Great Job well said!!!
WORD. Successful, Quality, Unwavering, Ambitious, Reliable, Exceptional.....SQUARE!
Well Mr. Saunders, I pray you have a proper partner to share a life with. God bless.

See,
I'm a 12 and will always be a Russell fan. With that said, I personally didn't find this speech that great...But it looks like I'm in the minority!
Russell is corny...
Ciara married Russell for his money.
Ciara has her millions and has had it since she was 18
Russell sought out Ciara. She married him because of the MAN he is.
Costa’s options all have money
@@jrod9729 Nah, she was kinda going broke tbh
@@htboston Ciara was nowhere near broke fool. Ciara just sold one of her homes in Buckhead that she purchased 10 yrs ago. And she own a home in LA where her and Future lived
Cheesy as ever 😅😂😅

You just wanna hate now
Lame comment. It was a phenomenal speech.
Give me extra cheese please
@@sade315 Hater so SAD!
