Former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been making it known that he is enjoying his time in Denver. The 33-year-old has been publicly praising his new team. Some of his comments also appear to be taking a shot at his former franchise and its front office.
While at his football camp (Russell Wilson Passing Academy) Wilson talked to reporters. According to Zac Stevens with DNVR, Wilson made it clear why he wanted to play with the Broncos when talking about the team.
“I said, ‘hey, listen, I want to make sure I go to a city that wants to win. I want to make sure I go to a team that wants to win. And I want to go to a city that knows how to win’,” Wilson said. “And all those three things were checked off the box here in Denver. I think we’ve got a chance.”
