Before deciding to sign with the New York Giants, quarterback Russell Wilson reached out to one of his former teammates, tight end Chris Manhertz.
Wilson wanted to understand what the Giants were all about, and after one full season with the team, Mahertz had a solid understanding of the comings and goings.
"I kind of saw it happening," Manhertz told the Denver Gazette. "I (texted with) him throughout the process."
Wilson and Manhertz were Denver Broncos teammates in 2023 and developed a solid bond. Wilson specifically shouted out his buddy during his introductory press conference in East Rutherford.
