Russell Wilson has contacted his Seattle Seahawks teammates to arrange for the team to start working together before the off-season training program begins.
The quarterback, who led the Seahawks to the playoffs during his first season in the league last year, will take his colleagues to Los Angeles in preparation for the 2013 campaign.
Tight end Sean McGrath told the team's website: "Russ has kind of taken this whole thing into his own hands.
"He's taking us all to L.A. So it's going to be a great opportunity for us to get to know each other better and kind of be on the same page as far as just a feel.
"This is so typical of Russ. We're grown accustomed to him doing things like this, just because that's the type of person he is. It will be a great team-building opportunity."
Wilson matched Peyton Manning's record for most touchdown passes by a rookie quarterback in 2012.
