Last season, the former Super Bowl champion hit rock bottom, drawing immense criticism from his followers all across the world. He was constantly roasted for his off-field comments and predictions about the future. But this time, things have changed, as his teammate claims that Wilson has worked on his mistakes and is ready to go big.
Garett Bolles makes a damning statement against the Wilson haters
The offseason training sessions have already begun, and players are back in their facilities preparing for a new campaign. It’s a do-or-die situation for Russell Wilson and the entire Broncos management to re-establish their hold in the NFL arena.
To cover the ongoing OTAs and the recent developments, media houses have been flocking to Denver’s practice facility. Offensive Tackle Bolles, who addressed the media questions on Thursday, took the opportunity to hit back at the critics. When asked about Wilson’s situation, the veteran spoke highly of his signal-caller.
“He’s a great dude, he’s the same guy every single day, he works his b*tt off,’‘ Bolles said, per ESPN. “And I’m ready for that stuff to go away, and when it goes, everyone’s going to eat crow. He’s one of the winningest quarterbacks [the] last 10 years, you guys know the stats, that’s just who he is. …the fire burns,” he added.
Can Sean Payton and Russell Wilson find a way out?
When the 34-year-old was brought in in exchange for several draft picks last season, expectations were quite high. Even before he entered the gridiron, Denver fans hyped the environment with crazy predictions.
This eventually became a major reason of his downfall. He led the team with a poor record of 5-12 and incurred 55 sacks in a single season. Altogether, he could only score 16 touchdowns.
These figures became a prominent factor in the firing of former head coach Nathaniel Hackett. But now, Sean Payton has assumed the top office, a major revamp has been carried out inside the locker room. Moreover, expectations will be quite low this season, which will help Wilson recapture his glory days.
