Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was back in Texas Rangers' camp on Saturday. 

The 2014 Super Bowl champ was selected by the Rangers in the 2013 Rule 5 Draft and took part in batting practice and infield drills with the team. 

"It's an honor to be here," Wilson told reporters. "Obviously, growing up as a little kid I've always dreamed of playing two sports and I always played both. Just to be here and to have this opportunity is a gift from God. I'm grateful to have this amazing opportunity. It's truly humbling to be able to play with these guys, and take grounders with them. Guys like Prince Fielder, (Adrian) Beltre, (Elvis) Andrus and all those guys, it's an honor."

Wilson spent the 2010 and 2011 seasons in Single-A, slashing .229/.354/.356 with five home runs in 93 games.
