“Russell Wilson Vibes”: Dansby Swanson’s Cheesy Interview Responses Forces Fans to Compare Him to Broncos QB

The Wrigley Field was shaken by the deafening cheers from the fans after Nelson Velázquez orchestrated an improbable comeback rally with his first-ever grand slam. Addressing the entire atmosphere at Wrigley Field, Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson praised the enthusiasm of fans, calling it the best moment of his entire career. While it may appear quite normal, his undue praise for the team evoked comparisons with NFL superstar Russell Wilson.

The Broncos quarterback often found himself in hot water after making cringy comments online. Fans criticize the veteran for his fake attitude and extravagant words that often turn out to be false. Reflecting a similar behavior, Swanson has now garnered crazy reactions on social media platforms.

Dansby Swanson gets brutally roasted for his post-game comments

When the Cubs gained momentum, going all the way to a 14-9 comeback win over the Mariners, Swanson ejected himself out of the game. He described the issue as “lower left side tightness,” which later became a “cramp,” as stated by Cubs Manager David Ross. However, the exact reason was something else, per Athletic.

His wife, Mallory Swanson, who played for the US Soccer National Team, injured herself during the exhibition match against Ireland. She was taken to the local hospital for further treatment, and the veteran was visibly exhausted. During the locker room press conference, the star highlighted this issue and commented on the crowd cheering for their side.

The former MLB champ heaped praise on the fans, calling it surreal, something that he had never experienced in life. “I couldn’t help but just smile. It was so pure,” Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson said of the atmosphere.

“The energy was just amazing. As soon as Nelly hit that ball — I hadn’t really felt too many things like that in my career,” he added. This statement instantly spread like wildfire, irking the Braves fans, who called out the 29-year-old for ignoring the love from his former team. Soon, people started comparing him with the Broncos quarterback.

When Russell Wilson was cornered for his cringe comments

Last year, the former Super Bowl champion bagged a multi-year, $245 million deal with the Broncos. Even before stepping onto the gridiron wearing the orange jersey, the signal-caller rolled out crazy catchphrases for the side.

However, his regular-season performance turned out to be a nightmare, pouring water over the expectations. Despite all these setbacks, he continued to make confident remarks.

This made fans criticize him for faking it in front of the media. A couple of years ago, an old video of his teammate making an honest admission with Richard Sherman about not having Wilson’s personal phone number also became a hot topic for discussion. What do you think? Is Swanson giving Wilson vibes in front of the media?
