It’s not the first time the Mercer Island native has showed his enthusiasm for the Seahawks.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and comedian McHale captained teams to pull a Boeing 737, to raise money and awareness to end childhood cancer, in July.

The Alaska Airlines Plane Pull for Strong Against Cancer raised $24,000.

Teams of 18 led by Wilson and McHale competed to see who could physically pull a Boeing 737-800 for 25 feet in the shortest amount of time. Team Russell won. Watch the video here.
