Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has made headlines recently, not for his thus-far lackluster play, but for his miraculous recovery from a head injury that he credits to a bottled water he endorses. He's also recently made headlines for dating pop strumpet Ciara while claiming their relationship remains celibate...

While many football fans, including those who do not root for the Seattle Seahawks, are still in disbelief over the play selection that ultimately ended Super Bowl 49 this past February, there is one person who has most definitely moved on from that disastrous ending that many believe to be the worst play call in the history of the NFL. That man is the head coach himself - Pete Carroll.

Under the headline "Heavy Lies The Crown," Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson graces the regional cover of this week's issue of Sports Illustrated.

The cover is out for the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and the model is 25-year-old Irina Shayk, who has previously appeared within the issue four other times. According to SI.com, the comely Russian was discovered in 2004 on a 3-day train ride from Chelyabinsk to Moscow. Keep reading for video of the cover girl in action.
