Russell Wilson is preparing hard for this NFL season after last season’s terrible loss. However, this season is a little different. Sean Payton, known for his mastermind strategy, took the Saints with a breath-taking record of 152-89 on Broncos side this season. Under his shadow, the team, including 9X Pro Bowler Wilson, had shown a smashing hike in the improvement curve.

Russell Wilson is not a man to be underestimated. He has achieved some of the most incredible victories he witnessed in his Seahawks days. However, his concussion and hamstring injuries took a toll on him in 2022, which degraded his success curve. But under Broncos – the new head coach’s influence, he is back in his form and his recent reaction indicates that.

Russell Wilson is one of the most versatile players in the franchise. He holds the record for maximum playing yards as per a rookie standard. He is the only player in the NFL to perform 300+ passing yards. However, the past few seasons were not on his side. This loss cannot turn him down, as he took that as a challenge to prove himself in the upcoming match with the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, September 10. Russell Wilson cannot keep calm to prove to his critics what he can do, and it was evident in his recent interview.

In the Denver Broncos YouTube channel, a video discussing the upcoming match of the Broncos has been uploaded. The discussion started with the speculation and consequences of Russell Wilson and his last season’s struggles.

As the discussion goes on, a short clip of Russell Wilson stoles the spotlight, where he hints at his worth and how he is going to prove that to his critics, “I think I’ve proven that you know throughout my career what I can do and I gotta do it again.”

The Denver Broncos had a terrible last season, with a loss score of 5-13 against the Raiders. Despite adding Russell Wilson to their rosters, things did not go as expected. This led to the dismissal of their coach Nathaniel Hackett, who is now the offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. Hackett had some clash of words with Sean Payton, as his coaching style impacted the Broncos’ performance last season.
