Russell Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos earlier in the offseason. He has put himself in a better situation than he was in Seattle, but the expectations have also increased massively. Wilson is expected to carry on the legacy of Peyton Manning and win a Super Bowl with the Broncos.

Another star quarterback who made the move from the NFC to the AFC is the Indianapolis Colts’ new QB, Matt Ryan. Ryan had spent his entire career in Atlanta before moving to the Colts. He will also face high expectations in his first season in the AFC.

Peyton Manning is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play in the league. He won two Super Bowls in his career. One with the Indianapolis Colts and another with the Denver Broncos. He gave his views on the two-star quarterbacks who’ll make their debut for his two former teams.

Manning said, “I mean, look, obviously when you play quarterback in the NFL there’s certainly expectations. I think Russell and Matt, they have high expectations for themselves,” He added, “They want to work together with the team, get on the same page, and want to help the team win and do their part. So, I think both of them will handle that well.”

The Denver Broncos had a good defense last year. All they needed was an elite quarterback to contend with, and they have got one in Wilson. The former Seahawks quarterback will look to make a big impact on his new team. Coming out of the AFC West will be tough, but that is why the Broncos went all in to get Wilson, as he is potentially the right man for the job.
