“They Said I Was Done”: Forgotten NFL Veteran and Ex-Russell Wilson Teammate Demands Respect After 9th All Pro Nomination

The Seattle Seahawks saw the upswing of the “Legion of Boom” back in the day. Russell Wilson led the franchise to unprecedented success. The Blue Wave previously emerged as the league’s most dangerous athletes. While some athletes may have stepped back or faded away. But one of them demands respect after picking up a massive career achievement.

The DangeRuss era in Seattle saw Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner, and more. Wilson’s time in Denver was not a success, and other athletes from that time have stepped down. But Wagner stands strong and is adding more achievements and earning All-Pro honors. The 32-year-old OLB is the epitome of uniformity, and his records say so.

Bobby Wagner summons everyone’s regards

After earning his ninth consecutive All-Pro accolade, Bobby Wagner shuts down all the doubters. He took to Twitter and mentioned, “They said I was done. I just want respect when you mention my name.” It seems like all he demands is respect from all these doubters, who think he has exceeded his prime.

During his 11-year NFL career, Wagner went into the All-Pro first team six times and the All-Pro second team three times. The LA Rams had a tough spot this season, but Bobby Wagner was the shining wizard of the team with 140 tackles, six sacks, two interceptions, and ten tackles for loss this year.

Bobby Wagner was at his peak when he was a teammate of Russell Wilson in Seattle. But he is still in the same position after joining the Rams.

Interestingly, Wilson and Wagner had the privilege of facing their former teams this season. But both of them had contrasting cries upon their arrival.

Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner received contrasting regards from the 12s

The Seahawks went through a polarizing stage in the 2021–22 offseason. They traded away Russell Wilson and sacked Bobby Wagner on the same day. Interestingly, both athletes faced their former franchise this season. But the starting factor was how the Seahawks fans hailed their former athletes. The Asterisk received boos from the 12s when he graced Lumen Field as a Bronco.

However, when Bobby Wagner arrived at the Seahawks’ home stadium, he received cheers from the fans. The attendees also had some ‘Bobby’ chants during the coin toss.

One thing is undeniable: The feelings they have for Russell Wilson are contrary to what they have for Bwagz.
