As the 2023 season draws near, pressure is mounting on Russell Wilson to perform. So it is natural for a spiritual person like him to turn to God in trying times. He shared a message with the fans to cheer them up as he prepares for another outing with the Broncos.
“Life has been tough for you, and you have some hills to climb and some rivers to flow in, and you had to go upstream some time. And sometimes you had to go without everything you wanted…Nothing you ever wanted but you still went anyway. And God has been with you,” Wilson conveyed through a video in his Instagram story.
In the video, the preacher is telling people that if the pain gets too much, that means they are close to the promise. Maybe Wilson, through the preacher, wants to tell the fans that this will be their year as they bore all the pain last season. Can he keep the promise?
The pains of 2022
When the Broncos brought Russell Wilson on a $245 million deal from the Seattle Seahawks, they thought they were solving all their offensive woes. But it didn’t go as per plan. In fact, the Broncos managed to win just five games in the entire 2022 regular season, finishing dead last in AFC West.
