Russell Wilson may have dropped some of his slogans and nicknames that defined the moments before his fall with the Denver Broncos, but he’s regained a lot of that same swagger without the negative attention that came with some of it.
This version of Wilson is reminiscent of the quiet, confident player who burst onto the scene in 2012 as a rookie before becoming “DangerRuss” or “Mr. Unlimited.” Maybe it was the conversation that Cameron Heyward and others had with Wilson before he signed in Pittsburgh or a realization after his failed tenure with the Broncos, but Wilson has ceased his pursuit of the spotlight.
