Last season, Denver Broncos star quarterback Russell Wilson had what was without a doubt the worst season of his entire NFL career, but one of his new teammates sounds pretty convinced of his greatness even despite the poor season.
During an interview with Mike Klis of Denver’s KUSA this week, new Broncos tackle Mike McGlinchey had some pretty bold comments about Russell Wilson, calling him a “Hall of Famer.”
“I’m very familiar with Russ, playing against him twice a year for four years,’’ McGlinchey told Klis. “He’s broken my heart numerous times. I know his game, I know what he’s capable of.
“He’s a Hall of Famer. And he’s capable of doing great things and winning a lot of games in this league like he did for a decade in Seattle. And I think coach Payton and the situation we’re going into is going to elevate his game even more.”
It’s a pretty bold claim, but McGlinchey sounds confident.
McGlinchey is well aware that last season did not go well for the Broncos, but he thinks this season is going to be different.
“I know last season didn’t go the way Broncos Country wanted but I think things are going to be a lot different and I’m very excited to get to work with Russ and see what we can do together and how we can make a splash in the AFC,” McGlinchey said.
