Ever since the OTAs kick-started, fans have been closely following the Broncos’ management in hopes of witnessing a complete revamp in the locker room. Certainly, the changes are quite visible, with Wilson dropping his weight and looking lean to prepare for an ambitious campaign.
Netizens roast Russell Wilson on his latest workout video
When the former Super Bowl champion arrived in Denver last year, expectations were quite high. Fans were hoping the veteran would salvage the ongoing slump and win titles for the team, but things went terribly wrong. Not only did they lose but they also ended up at the bottom of the division(5-12).
Despite all these setbacks, Wilson continues to remain optimistic to motivate his followers. But some find it hard to digest the QB’s bold claims. Regardless, the environment inside the locker room has improved a lot with Wilson leading from the front. He is much leaner now, and his latest workout video shows the quarterback’s dedication to strengthening his core muscles and mobility.
However, as soon as the video went viral, internet trolls got activated in no time. “Broncos Country, let’s slide!” said one of the fans mocking Wilson. “Still Worst Contract in the History of the League!,” said a few others who still can’t believe that the Broncos broke the bank for him.
Nevertheless, one can clearly see Russell challenging his limits and engaging in full-body workouts. It includes weight training and flexibility-focused movements. He looks quite energetic and determined. Hopefully, his furious drills will work in the favor of the Broncos country this season.
Did the Broncos country make a mistake by giving a long-term deal to Wilson?
The former Seahawk has always been an entertainer and a great passer. One bad season cannot define his abilities on the gridiron because the veteran has established himself as one of the best at the highest level. His ten years in Seattle were by far the best in the franchise’s history. He even led the team to its first-ever Super Bowl title and changed its entire landscape.
Based on all these statistics, the Broncos offered him a whopping $245 million contract spanning over a period of five years. Needless to say, it was a huge deal. However, things went south for Wilson and the Broncos in the first year itself, with the QB churning out the worst numbers of his career.
Well, there is a scope for improvement in the coming seasons, and looking at the capabilities and the experience of Wilson, it wouldn’t be right to conclude that the massive deal given by Denver was a compete blunder. However, a lot will depend on how Russell performs this year.
