However, let’s hit the pause button on the doom and gloom because there’s a silver lining shimmering in the Mile High City. Wilson may have been wearing that iconic Broncos orange for just a hot minute, but one thing’s clear as crystal: he’s all about that team spirit.

Russell Wilson might have had a tough go of it last season, but he’s not alone in this gridiron battle.

Even left tackle, Garett Bolles has got Wilson’s back like a blindside protector, and he’s got no doubt that Wilson’s class and talent will shine through when the pressure’s on.
