With a five-year, $245 million contract, Russell Wilson gave the Denver Broncos high hopes last season. That said, taking into account the lackluster performance last season and the new addition of Matthew Stafford, the nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback may face some tough times ahead. But this season, he is ready to become what analysts call the ‘Comeback Player of the Year.’

After all, with the Broncos match just a week away, the rush amongst the fans and the pressure on the quarterback is high. But it seems like he is ready to step up like the 2X Super Bowl Champion Coach Prime’s recent miracle. 

“Keep Going in the Midst of A Storm”: A miraculous turnaround

Russell Wilson has adopted a lower-profile approach this offseason, with fewer social media posts and less public attention. He felt physically prepared and excited to play after working on his fitness during the offseason, although he didn’t specify how much he had lost. Since Sean Payton became the head coach, the Broncos have shifted their focus away from public appearances and personal coaching arrangements.

Now, with just 168 hours to the Broncos’ big match this season, it feels like their star quarterback is feeling inspired by another Hall-of-Famer-quarterback-turned-Coach Deion Sanders. Today, Wilson took to Instagram as he reshared Coach Prime’s ‘word of the day,’ which said, “You’ve got to see your way through the storms of life. There will be adversity, but it ain’t nothing you can’t handle if you truly Believe. The secret is you must keep going in the midst of the storm & never stop progress. You will eventually make it through & testify to others how you did it. Don’t stop. You’re almost there. #CoachPrime.” After all, Coach Prime Time has made ‘the turnaround’ possible with the Colorado even after his life-threatening surgery.

In their first game under head coach Deion Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes, 20.5-point underdogs, shocked last year’s national runner-up TCU with a 45-42 victory. Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s son, debuted as the quarterback, amassing 510 passing yards and four touchdowns, setting a Colorado record for passing yards in a game. Highly recruited Travis Hunter, who also joined from Jackson State, showcased his skills with 119 receiving yards and an interception. This remarkable win amazed fans and analysts, especially considering Colorado’s dismal 1-11 record the previous season. Russell Wilson and others look up to this miracle, and fans are hopeful for a strong turnaround this season for the Broncos. Now, fans are speculating if Wilson will deliver. 

Expectations from the 2022 Bart Starr Awardee Russell Wilson

Regarding his performance last season, Wilson had time and again acknowledged the need for improvement after a challenging year that included a high sack count and a losing record. However, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton is eager to see clean execution and timing from quarterback Russell Wilson and the rest of the starters in their 2023 preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals. Payton plans for the first-stringers to play around 15-18 snaps in the game. Wilson had a slow start to training camp, with multiple interceptions, but he has since improved, impressively connecting with wide receivers Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and Marvin Mims. 

In a recent practice, he threw a 47-yard walk-off touchdown to Jeudy during a two-minute drill. Wilson’s efficiency in practice, including beating All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain II, has garnered praise from Payton, who acknowledges that the team is progressing well and gaining confidence. After a challenging season, Wilson aims to carry his positive momentum into the preseason and the regular season.
