Russell Wilson is confronting public analysis as the previous Seattle Seahawks QB has gotten into a difficult situation with his new Denver Mustangs group.
Yet, the nine-time Expert Bowler – exchanged away via Seattle in return for different first and second-round draft picks, in addition to a triplet of vital participants, with Wilson getting another agreement worth $245 million north of five years – has the help of sorts from old colleague Marshawn Lynch.
What’s more, he feels a debt of gratitude.
From Lynch, “I want to ensure [Wilson] is straight to him. I truly thought he planned to resign a Seahawk,” Lynch said on the Richard Sherman Digital broadcast. “… I want to connect with him. This moment they’re seeing him like a black sheep.
“Assuming there’s anybody who knows something about that, it’s me. I’ve done been to the lower part of this association before when [expletive] excluded you, talked awful on you. … I’m pulling for him.”
Wilson’s reaction to Lynch’s help?
“He’s forever been astounding,” Wilson said of Lynch. “Exactly how he’s gone about things, how he’s been a particularly astounding contender … Perhaps of the best individual I’ve at any point played with.”
Other previous partners have turned up unexpectedly to go after Wilson, who has battled in driving Denver to a record of 2-3 as the Horses are again in the public spotlight, in Week 6 against the Chargers at SoFi Arena on Monday Night Football.
Be that as it may, Lynch? To the extent that being a “black sheep” goes, yes. Perhaps it takes one to know one.
