Russell Wilson’s new show is one to cheer for and then forget

Russell Wilson is a very good-to-great NFL quarterback. Jon Gruden is a former and now current NFL head coach. Gruden was recently a quarterback guru on ESPN. Wilson might take his place full-time one day. Or ESPN gave him a try out to be, at least.

On Tuesday, Wilson debuted as the new Gruden on ESPN’s “QB2QB with Russell Wilson.” Wilson spoke with three hopeful quarterback draftees, and one running back, for the 2018 NFL Draft. Among the players were Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield, Penn State’s Shaquon Barkley, Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph and Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett.

The difference between Gruden’s and Wilson’s shows may just be the difference in the personalities of the men themselves.
