It wasn’t that long ago that Russell Wilson was viewed among the cream of the crop at the quarterback position. He was firmly in the MVP conversation in both 2019 and 2020 when he totaled 8,322 passing yards and an absurd 71 passing touchdowns. He passed for over 4,000 yards in both seasons and had 40 passing TDs in 2020 as the Seattle Seahawks attempted to “let Russ cook” with a pass-heavy attack.
He rightfully received a massive contract extension with the Denver Broncos after they gave away a significant trade haul to acquire him, and he largely disappointed in his two-year tenure there.
