Russell Wilson is studious. So much so that he brings back memories of the Peyton Manning era. - When Wilson knew a trade to the Denver Broncos was possible, he started watching film from the team’s 2021 season — including preseason. - “I watched the preseason,” Wilson said at his introductory press conference last week. “I’m a little crazy. I wanted to watch the preseason to see some of the younger guys who maybe got injured or got hurt or whatever their situation was. Maybe they didn’t play yet or was behind a great player.” - Wilson didn’t just watch highlights or cutups, either. - “I wanted to watch the full games because the full games tell you everything,” the quarterback said. “Full games tell you situational football — what went right, what went wrong.” - Wilson studied up on his soon-to-be new team and his new teammates. - “What have been the strengths and what are maybe the areas of improvement? I think a lot of that was a key part for me to watch and process all 17 games. I’ve watched all 17 games now at this point. From the moment I figured out that this was going to probably happen, I’ve watched all 17 games two or three times. - “I think a lot of it is doing what I love — watching film and studying it, and seeing what guys are really great at. Situational awareness is everything — from winning a game to winning often. That was a big part of it.” - It seems safe to say Denver’s offense — and the entire team — is in good hands following the arrival of Wilson. - Follow the Broncos Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - Will Russell Wilson win MVP in 2022? - Powered By PickUp - - List - - Russell Wilson trade: Seahawks fan provides Seattle perspective for Broncos fans - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Broncos Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Broncos Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
