Russell Wilson has a fondness for keeping himself durable and healthy to compete. The Denver Broncos’ quarterback seems to have Tom Brady‘s approach to football. His fitness and durability have been on display as the QB1 for the Seahawks and Broncos franchises over the years. However, an athlete from his former franchise does not seem enthusiastic about his physique.
The Asterisk had a glorious time with the Seattle Seahawks. Despite winning a Super Bowl, the QB1 and the franchise began having some turbulent times, which opened the way to the Denver Broncos trade. The feelings were on display during the 2 Up 2 Down Podcast when Tariq Woolen appeared as a guest.

The Seattle Seahawks cornerback did not look content when he saw the physique of Russell Wilson. During his podcast appearance, Tariq Woolen said, “Seeing him in person it was pretty funny because on TV you see him It’s like, ‘OK he looks in shape on TV.’ But you see him in person, and it’s weird. He’s like a sack of potatoes… He’s athletic, and he’s a good player, but literally, when I seen him, I’m like ‘Damn, I didn’t know he was built like that.’”

CB Woolen roasted the Broncos’ QB1’s physique, which cost $1 Million to keep Wilson in shape. The Broncos quarterback did not have a fashionable start, dropping hopes of reaching the playoffs. The Seahawks also trashed Robot Russell’s return to Lumen Field in Week 1, which led to an unfruitful season with a 5-12 record.
The Denver Broncos hit the ground running after they hired Sean Payton as head coach. It was a bolstering move, but some are still wondering if he is the key.
Franchise legend thinks Sean Payton could heal Russell Wilson
The Broncos took the high road when they fired Nathaniel Hackett and hired Sean Payton as head coach. Despite the debate over whether the Super Bowl-winning coach is the key to success, franchise legend Terrell Davis believes Payton will benefit Wilson.

While speaking with TMZ Sports, the Hall of Fame running back said he had faith in the new HC. Davis added that he could help get Wilson back in the winning end. The former RB talked about Sean Payton’s positive influence over the QBs, and Robot Russell could be the next.
It is yet to see if Payton touched upon the success that Hackett did not.
