King: Russell Wilson 'Willing to Be Coached Hard by' Sean Payton; Spoke to Drew Brees

Russell Wilson is coming off the worst season of his career, but he's reportedly hopeful that the Denver Broncos' hiring of Sean Payton as head coach will help turn things around.

According to Peter King of NBC Sports, "Wilson and [Drew] Brees have gotten to be friends, and Wilson has great admiration for him. So, Wilson's at a low point after his disastrous first year in Denver. He wanted Payton to get the job, and he's willing to be coached hard by him. Wilson has been reaching out to Brees to get a preview of coming attractions.
