Another dream come true for Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

KING-5 reports Wilson will be on the cover of Wheaties cereal boxes.

In a piece he wrote for The Player’s Tribune Wilson talked about the excitement as a child of finding out what sports star was on the next box and telling himself, “Some day that’s gonna be me.”

And starting in October, it’s going to be him, when Russell Wilson Wheaties boxes will be on shelves nationwide.
