From playbook changes to Ed Sheeran shows, Denver Broncos want Russell Wilson 'comfortable'

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Since the Denver Broncos acquired quarterback Russell Wilson in a franchise-shifting trade this offseason, the word "comfort" has been tossed around almost as much as "playoffs" or Wilson's new signature phrase, "let's ride."

And that has meant providing Wilson with anything he needs to transition from new arrival to franchise pacesetter in a matter of weeks. For coach Nathaniel Hackett, that has included everything from playbook adjustments -- "I want Russ to be playing at a very high level" -- to taking a London trip with the Wilsons -- "my kid's first concert, and I got to take him to Wembley for Ed Sheeran," Hackett said.
