Denver Broncos believe Russell Wilson will be a hit, but don't want him to get hit as much

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Since he broke into the league as a starter with the Seattle Seahawks in 2012, Russell Wilson has been hit and sacked more than any other quarterback. Matt Ryan is second in hits (380 behind) and sacks (62), but it's not terribly close.

The Denver Broncos traded a package of players and draft picks, including two first-rounders and two second-rounders, to acquire Wilson, with the idea that some of his best work is still to come. To achieve that, however, the Broncos may need to reduce the amount of hits the 33-year-old absorbs.
