‘Why The 6 On The Back’: NFL Twitter Reacts Vicariously To Russell Wilson’s First Look in a Denver Broncos Jersey
Denver Broncos fans and players caught the first glimpse of the start of the Russell Wilson era as he took the field for the voluntary veteran minicamp. Wilson took the field in his brand new Broncos No.6 jersey to excite NFL fans around the world. The team did undergo the first day of the three-day minicamp and the blockbuster trade for Wilson seems worth every penny.
He also seems to be warming up well to the Denver fans as he has made his presence known to the city. The first day of camp allowed fans to get a glimpse of the team under new Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett.
The enthusiasm and energy were for all to see during the whole session. Even Hackett did jump in personally during the play-action scenarios.
Hackett seems to develop a great bond with his new team and star QB, who was full of praise for his coach’s skills at the running back position. Wilson has taken the time he has with his new teammates as he spent time with the team’s pass-catchers and running backs recently. It seems to be a situation Wilson truly wants to be within and is showing all the right indicators to make this successful.
Russell Wilson effect is in full swing
The infectious energy of the former Seahawks QB has been encouraging for Hackett, who wants to continue to follow the process. While they remain restricted due to the league’s offseason practice rules, Wilson is shifting the mentality of his teammates in their very first interactions. While talking about his trade to Mile High City, Wilson states, “To be here, standing right here, now that I’m here, it feels right. It feels great, I’m excited about it, and also too, at the same time, there’s a lot more to do.”
The Broncos fans were full of jubilation following his trade from Seattle and will hope he ends their playoff absence in 2022. Even NFL fans on Twitter were sharing their feelings following the first sighting of Wilson in a Broncos jersey.
