Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos are in London getting ready for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars and while it’s still unclear whether or not Wilson will play because of a hamstring injury that kept him out last week, it is quite clear that he is still the cringiest player in the league.
Why do I say this? Well, during his press conference on Wednesday he told the media that he spent four hours of the flight stretching and doing high knees up and down the aisle while some of his teammates slept.
While I get wanting to do everything you can to play in a game, this stuff from Wilson considering other things he’s done in the past, just comes off as so cringe:
Russell Wilson worked out and stretched for four of the eight hours on the flight from Denver to London. Said he was doing high knees in the aisle when the rest of the guys were asleep.

That reminds me of when he did something like this:

Or this:

Yikes all around.
Oh, and this is so cringey, too:
Russell Wilson ended his press conference with “Broncos Country, Let’s Ride” after not saying it last week.

NFL fans had jokes about his flight workout.
