The starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos has become the reason for all the jokes this season. Aside from watching their teams win games, fans’ second favorite activity is now trolling Russell Wilson. Denver is 3-10 and still uncertain about the QB, who was going to help them win the Super Bowl title this year. Despite all the negative air around the Super Bowl winner, a former teammate of Wilson spoke affirming words for him.

The QB’s exit from the team left some bitterness in the free agent’s mouth. Sherman claimed Pete Carroll favored DangeRuss more than the other 52 players on the roster.

Also, Marshawn Lynch and Sherman once confessed that they never had Russell Wilson‘s phone number. If they wanted to contact the nine-time Pro Bowler, they had to get through his manager. However, when asked about his where Sherman and Wilson’s rapport stood. For now, the Broncos QB is dealing with something more serious than having his ex-teammates get angry with him for not sharing his phone number.
