ESPN's quarterback whisper Jon Gruden just gave his take on who he believes is the best quarterback in the NFL.

Although, he contemplated on Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers; his focus quickly shifted to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson due to his age.

'Be hard to go against Rodgers but I like the guy up in Seattle, as well," Gruden said on Wednesday's edition of ESPN's First Take. "I've seen Rodgers and Wilson go head-to-head in the postseason, in the regular season. It's just hard to defend guys that are that sharp mentally [and] can move and get out of trouble like they can. I'd probably go with Russell Wilson just because he's younger; I can have him for a longer period of time."

The pick might come as a bit of a surprise being that Gruden is a noted former Packers' assistant but everyone knows the former Super Bowl winning coach's philosophy is "the eye in the sky doesn't lie."

Or in this instance, the birth certificate doesn't lie.
