Seahawks star Tariq Woolen says he wasn't impressed by Russell Wilson's physique this year, comparing it to a bag of spuds.
Woolen said he expected to see a well-built athlete -- given that he had watched Russ on TV for the last decade or so -- but when the signal-caller appeared before him at Lumen Field ... he said he was downright shocked.
"When you see him in person, it's like, weird," the 6-foot-4, 210-pound defensive back said."He's like a sack of potatoes." The comment drew a huge laugh from the pod's hosts -- but Woolen didn't stop the Russ roast sesh there. "Literally when I seen him," the Pro Bowler said,"I'm like, 'Dang, I didn't know he was built like that.' And he was short. I'm tall anyway but I was like, 'Damn, he's that short?!'"FYI -- Russ is listed at 5-foot-11, 215 pounds -- and when he's been spotted without his shirt on over the years ... he sure looks great to us. But, clearly, Woolen has some higher standards.
The 23-year-old, though, did give Wilson at least some props ... saying on the pod,"The crazy thing is he's athletic. He's athletic and he's a good player."
