Before this season, people were writing Russell Wilson off. After an incredible career with the Seattle Seahawks, two awful years with the Denver Broncos destroyed his value. He signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers for basically nothing, and after dealing with a calf injury, he’s totally changed the narrative surrounding him. Richard Sherman, Wilson’s former teammate, believes the quarterback’s attitude is a big reason why he’s been so much better.
“He’s shown some humility,” Sherman said recently on his podcast. “You don’t hear the interviews, the catchphrases, and things like that that he showed in Denver where it just seemed like he was trying to separate himself from the Seattle Seahawks and really identify himself as an individual that plays at a high level that needs to be recognized week in and week out.
