SEATTLE — Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is staying busy this offseason and making a big play off the field.
He launched his new clothing line, Good Man Brand, at Nordstrom and hundreds of fans lined up to show their support.
Some lined up as early as 8 a.m.
“For Russell, I will wait,” said fan Vicki Yuen.

Twelves got a chance to meet Wilson and get one on one with No. 3.
“He's the best quarterback in the NFL to me,” 10 year old Jalen Grant said.
Some tiny 12s even played hooky from school.
Six-year-old Allen Inzunza said Wilson is his favorite quarterback because he helps people.
Those who bought something from Wilson’s new line got to take a picture with him.
“The shirt is not that important,” Wolf Schubert said “The picture is pretty important, pretty cool.”
Wilson calls the line "aspirational."
He said fashion has always been one of his hobbies.
“We asked the question, what is a good man?” Wilson explained. “I immediately thought of my dad.”
He says $3 from every item sold will go to help inner-city youths.
The Super Bowl champ is known for his achievements on the field as much as off the field.
“He's a leader,” Yuen added. “He definitely plays leadership with the Seahawks but also with the community, like with Children’s Hospital.”

For fans, Monday was all about supporting a man who they believe has already given so much to the city of Seattle.
Even if they had to buy a shirt or two.
Wilson said he hopes that his line will inspire others to do good.
