Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson signs autographs for a large crowd in attendance to watch him work out with the Texas Rangers during spring training baseball practice, Monday, March 3, 2014.

Russell Wilson is the Seahawks' franchise quarterback, but Monday he had a different uniform and a mitt on his hand as he took part in spring training with the Texas Rangers.

Wilson was picked up by the Rangers in the Rule-5 draft in December. The Rule-5 draft is where MLB teams can acquire the rights to other teams' minor-league players. Wilson's rights were held by Colorado, where he last played Single-A ball in 2011, before heading to Wisconsin to play football.
