Russell Wilson doesn’t have to wait long for his return to Seattle. Wilson, a 2012 third-round draft pick by the Seahawks who became a day one starter for the franchise at quarterback, was traded to the Broncos in the offseason following a turbulent final few seasons in Seattle.
Denver opens the 2022 season at Seattle on Monday night, marking an immediate return for Wilson against his old team. The franchise will almost certainly celebrate his many accolades; Wilson led the team to a win in Super Bowl XLVIII, was an All-Pro in 2019, a nine-time Pro Bowler and the Walter Payton Man of the Year in ’20.
