Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Russell Okung has hailed quarterback Russell Wilson as an "amazing" player.

Wilson has guided the Seahawks to just their second Super Bowl in history this season despite questions being raised over his relative lack of height when he first entered the NFL.

"I saw what was in his heart before I saw his stature. Russell is just an amazing man, always looking to make the great play," Okung told reporters.

The Seahawks will face the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
