The Denver Broncos and the Las Vegas Raiders are matched up on the gridiron today. The match will see Broncos’ Russell Wilson and the former successor of Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo, go head-to-head in a bid to take the field by storm. Coming off a less-than-ideal season and a handful of injuries, there is no doubt that Russell Wilson has a lot to prove in this match. The buzz around Wilson’s comeback has been big enough for him to be declared a top candidate for the Comeback Player of the Year Award.

To give effect to this dream, Russell Wilson will have to defeat Jimmy Garoppolo, who could be considered to be the secret weapon wielded by Tom Brady because of their ties in the past. The star quarterback Tom Brady might be out of the field due to his retirement, but he has a stake in Raiders’ ownership. This is one reason Raiders fans are sure their team will emerge victorious.

Will Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo defeat Russell Wilson?

As a Comeback Player of the Year Award hopeful, needless to say, Russell Wilson has a lot to prove. Now, on top of this immense pressure comes a confident prediction from the Las Vegas Raiders’ fans. According to them, the Raiders’ Jimmy Garoppolo will defeat the Broncos’ QB to become the better team during week 1. While Tom Brady might not be playing with the team, there is no doubt as a co-owner of the Raiders he will have some influence on his players.

With the relationship shared by Tom Brady and Jimmy Garropolo in the past, one can extrapolate to conclude that Garoppolo might be using the immense experience of the star quarterback to his advantage. While this might be speculation, one thing is for sure. Jimmy Garropolo’s story has been entwined with Tom Brady. At one point in history, Garoppolo was considered to be the successor of Tom Brady. At the time, both players were a part of the New England Patriots. Jimmy Garoppolo was traded after a while, and later on, Brady pivoted to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
