The NFL season is approaching. Everyone in the NFL teams and the community is gearing up for this exciting adventure. Players are hitting the gyms, practicing throws, and doing various other activities in their unique ways. Amidst these rigorous workouts, Russell Wilson‘s recent workout session caught the attention of the internet.

However, last year was a rather challenging season for the Denver Broncos quarterback, resulting in a disappointing performance. As a result, it appears that he has been diligently working to enhance both his game and physique. As a result, a few weeks ago, he impressively shed pounds. However, one of his workout videos went viral, attracting significant attention. The former linebacker, Kirk Morrison, couldn’t help but burst into laughter while watching it.

The viral sliding board of Wilson

Recently, on the Rich Eisen Show, guest Kirk Morrison reacted to Russell Wilson’s video showcasing his new off-season workout routine. In the viral video, Wilson can be seen engaging in some unconventional exercises, particularly with the sliding board. Morrison, while expressing his admiration for Wilson’s game, couldn’t help but laugh and said, “I’m a fan of his game, but sometimes what he does off the field is just…” His laughter reflected a sense of amusement. However, he acknowledged that it’s a beneficial workout but hinted that it portrays Wilson’s inclination towards drawing attention, possibly becoming the “look at me” figure in the NFL.

Morrison also addressed the fans who criticize him and those who become overly excited about their favorite players’ off-season workouts or practices. He shared sobering truths about his own experiences in the NFL, emphasizing that fans sometimes react unnecessarily. During the off-season, players require personal space to focus on their training for the upcoming season. Morrison highlighted that fans tend to get excited even over basic activities like weightlifting or running, exclaiming things like, “Oh my God, look at him, he is lifting weights!” or “He’s running!” He believed that such reactions are expected since these activities are part of players’ regular routines, and there is no need for excessive excitement. Likewise, Russell’s video also garnered significant attention from his fans, especially his latest workout, as some fans believed he was imitating a famous comic star.

Did he copy Ben Stiller?

As Russell’s latest video of working out on a sliding board went viral, fans took to the internet and erupted with laughter, claiming that it closely resembled Ben Stiller‘s workout activity in the movie ‘Heavyweights.’ The ESPN Instagram account even posted a comparison between the two, further fueling the amusement of fans who couldn’t help but laugh at Wilson running on a sliding board.

However, despite the humor surrounding the workout, it has undeniably yielded positive results. Wilson has recently lost weight, and the workout also aids in balance and stamina, potentially better preparing him for the upcoming season.
