“He worked his tail off and he had a great offseason, He was so disciplined about it. The effect that he has on other players is really obvious, because he threw with a lot of guys over the course of time, got together with a bunch of guys. You can just see the carryover—they’re already talking our language. The work he has done with Greg Olsen and DK in particular, and Phillip Dorsett, we’re rolling.
“DK had a bunch of room to grow with as a young guy; (Wilson) had to learn Greg and Greg had to learn Russ, and same with Phillip, and those guys are in here flying around.

They already are showing the kind of detail work that you have to work to earn, and Russell was really in the middle of making that happen,” Carroll told the team’s official website.
