Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson is seen as a savior by the Denver Broncos.
There’s merit in thinking that adding him to the roster will help elevate their offense.
For years, that side of the ball has underperformed with Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater under center.
The Broncos faithful feel that they will be in for a great ride with Wilson in control.
It’s not just the team’s fans who have nothing but praise for Wilson.
Even his new teammates exclaim what’s good about the veteran play-caller.
Broncos OT Garett Bolles on Russell Wilson: “You talk about some of the greatest athletes—Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan—the type of mentalities those athletes have—that’s what he has. He’s so focused all the time, ready to rock and roll, and it’s what we needed here.”

ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter shared a statement from Broncos offensive tackle Garett Bolles.
Bolles said, “You talk about some of the greatest athletes—Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Michael Jordan—the type of mentalities those athletes have—that’s what he has. He’s so focused all the time, ready to rock and roll, and it’s what we needed here.”
That’s a high comparison laid out in public by Bolles, but there’s no disputing Wilson’s focus after injuring a finger in his throwing hand last season.
Initial predictions revealed that he might miss up to eight weeks of action.
However, he was playing four weeks after his operation.
That determination helped Wilson elevate the Seattle Seahawks to legitimate contenders since he joined the team in 2012.

The Broncos hope that Wilson can also bring a Super Bowl to the Mile High City.
Luckily, the team has the pieces to make that happen.
Javonte Williams will be their force from the backfield, while their receiving corps of Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick, and Courtland Sutton can all wreak havoc.
But before the team reaches the big game, they expect Wilson to help break their six-season playoff drought.
Anything less than a postseason appearance would be a disappointment for such a talented roster.
