Russell Wilson
Former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who won a Super Bowl with the franchise and appeared in another -- the last Seattle Super Bowl appearance prior to Sunday -- shared a message to the team's fanbase.
"Go Hawks," Wilson, who was also at the game, wrote.

Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua, whose team was eliminated by Seattle in the NFC Championship Game, shared a vague message on X after the Super Bowl.
Nacua's tweet merely said "Sam Darnold" with a laughing emoji, leaving some fans questioning whether he was poking fun at the talent of Seattle's title-winning quarterback.
