It all clicked for Russell Wilson this offseason when he was deciding on his next NFL stop, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.

The spectacle, the opportunity and the players and coaches awaiting him lured him to New York, where he'll have a chance to lead a scuffling Giants franchise back to the glory days of yore.

"The opportunity here is so great," Wilson said on the 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony podcast. "I don't mind the lights. I don't mind that part of it. I think the other part of it for me, most importantly of it all that, is I've been here before. When you walk into a stadium, into a locker room and you know, like my locker is the same locker I had when I won the Super Bowl. So, for me, when I see that, when I walk into the stadium I'm like, I've been here before. Not just been here but, like, we did this before.

"So, I fundamentally believe it's possible again in terms of being successful again and being at the highest level. I think we got the right guys. ... There's a lot of good pieces to it. And it's a show."

"Malik Nabers, man, dude's a superstar," Wilson said. "I was watching the film trying to make decisions, trying to get a clear understanding of who the players are, this and that. Obviously, you see the highlights and everything else, but when you watch every single catch and every single rep and every play, you get to see the kind of player he is. He's dynamic. He touches the football, he gone."

"Here with Dabes, I'm excited because his offensive wizardry is really special," Wilson said. "Him and (offensive coordinator Mike) Kafka, a guy who played quarterback in the league, just the rest of the staff, too ... people that I know and people that I believe in. I'm excited about the opportunity."
