Russell Wilson opens up on doubts after Broncos run, Mike Tomlin connection & more | NFL on ESPN

[@Kurt9099]

People think Russ is phony because he's always so positive and they think that nobody can be that nice. I just think he's a good dude and feels blessed so he chooses to be a positive person and wants to inspire others. So glad he is a Steeler!

[@noble604]

That’s part. It’s also because he’s Błack and Christian. As a good łooking, charming, professional, unproblematic whìte qb, Russ has a truckload of endorsements as the “face” of American football. Not as a Błack qb. His faith further creates all kinds of warfare against him. That’s ok. Neither one of these things will prevail. Enjoy the show. 🗡🛡

I totally agree with you!!!! I have always liked him, too!! Soooo am hoping that we get number 7 with Russ!!

This is all old hat for me. I have been watching him from day 1. The east coast is just really starting to learn about Russ…not ESPN/NFL Network highlight Russ, or the Russ people have tried to present to people but the real Russ. Dude has been the same from day 1. I do think he had a little bit of an ego when he left Seattle for Denver, but what great player doesn’t have an ego?

[@HoonAgain]

Met Russ at Seahawks training camp in 2015. Dude was all business. He stayed after it ended and signed for all the fans including my boys and I. Everyone else was gone. Just Russ out there with his team rep for well over an hour signing, taking photos and visiting with fans of all ages. His regular visits to Seattle Children’s Hospital are legendary and unforgettable. He is one of the most kind and positive ppl you could meet. Nevermind his social media silliness and other things ppl get on him about. Football, family and God are what he cares about. You gotta respect that. I’m happy to see him succeed in Pittsburgh.

[@noble604]

Russ and his wife have gone to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh, too, which is a top 5.. (6 .. 7 ... 8) hospital in the nation for children’s specialities so there are kids there from all over the country and families from everywhere. The kids in Pittsburgh have cried meeting him and his wife Ciara. Sweet to see them at the kids’ hospital. They are definitely appreciated there.

[@greenAbbot]

As a Seahawks fan, I never hated Russ, although I had fun rooting against him when Denver’s losses directly improved Seattle’s draft picks. But it’s also true that the reason he demanded out of Seattle was because he thought Seattle’s run-based offense was holding him back, and his time in Denver showed how wrong he was. If Russ had realized this in Seattle, maybe he’d still be a Seahawk. But since I’ve been a Steelers fan far longer than I’ve been a Hawks fan, I hope he learned his lesson because he’s in the perfect offense for him once again and if he works with it rather than against it, he could be special again.

Unpopular opinion but Ben was never a leader like Rus it’s been a lot longer than 3 years.

[@CheekyMenace]

​@@moses611 STFU, you have no idea who he was in the locker room or to the team. Everyone leads in their own ways. Not everyone sits down to give 30 min interviews of positive affirmations. The team through the first dozen or so years of Ben's career, was the most cohesive times I've ever seen the team. There's a reason so many great players on the team from those years speak highly of him, go to show up on his podcast and are still friends to this day.

No doubt. At the height of the Niners Hawks rivalry it was such a joke to compare Russ to Kap. People don't remember Kap's social media was all jewelry, shoes, dumb material things, before he got benched and became a social justice warrior. Meanwhile Russ was at the children's hospital and winning NFL Man of the Year 😂

[@Birdshu]

"We gotta play them, but they gotta play us." I just came to that realization last night. I'm no longer intimidated by the remaining schedule. I think the Steelers are capable of beating all of them.

[@michellepreston9799]

All of them every last one of them. Here is my logic. Remember that year when we went like 10-0 or 11-0 I can't remember well. Ben, who was older at that point, was burnt out. Can you imagine if someone else gave us a 4-2 start, and Ben came in and won 10 straight games. My point is Russ is just getting started he is only going to get better.

I so admire Russ for simply continuing to be himself through all the controversy, criticism and ridicule he's endured these last few years. He refused to 'accommodate', to make himself more acceptable to the fair-weather pundits, who change their pronouncements more often than their underwear, trying to stay ahead of 'the trending wisdom'. It's that world of punditry and fickle fandom where the 'fake', 'corny' and 'superficial' are to be found. They spent two years - right up until last month - trashing Russ. Suddenly, he's their hero, Superbowl bound, comeback player of the year, etc. But they'll flip again, whenever he loses a game or two. Stay steady Russ!

Positivity, I can't say enough from a guy that used to be homeless. Now I've purchased 2 homes married for 35 years 2 adult sons that are doing well. Anybody that knew me back in the day would have said he's going to jail, or he'll be dead positivity, man positivity. Been a teamster for over 20 years. Life's good positivity it's real.

I totally get why most of the world hates Russ. He is one of the best QBs to ever play, never break character, always class act, man of faith, good looking, rarely hurt, family man, hard worker. And obviously very cheesy. No wonder the media clowns hate him...

NEVER BREAKS CHARACTER 🗣📢🎯

[@FR3NZY_]

It’s not a character bro, he is just being him.

[@hansbystrom9983]

@@FR3NZY_ It is. Most QBs do it.

[@theodoretucker247]

Glad Russ is doing his thing! Glad he's a Steelers!

[@Steel-B-POP]

Road to 7 🏆 Here we go

[@sergioaltamiranda8457]

I hope once he retires he becomes our qb coach. He seems to love this team as much as we do.

[@shannonroberts3760]

Great interview Russ he talks a lot cause you can tell he really loves the game and all the history of the team and the players great job Russell I started to tear up a little but I really enjoyed it 🖤💛🖤 I’m glad you are with the Steelers I see the joy and difference in you stay positive 3️⃣💪🏾🙏

Born and raised in Denver. The broncos did russ wrong. Wished they respected him more.

[@BlackMarvel25]

Payton and the new owners did. I hope the other players didn’t trash him or pile on.

[@kimovercash2887]

Payton is a good coach but also is a low character, big ego guy that couldn’t tolerate being around someone like Russ.

[@SlatedFor]

Dude it makes me happy to see people finally giving Russ love

[@SW5815.]

Finally!!! I been looking for this interview !!

[@RealDyl75]

Lifelong Steelers fan here. I love this guy. Glad he's a Steeler

[@BenGoodsonModular]

Amazing business by the Steelers really for this year. An upgraded QB room for literally a buck fifty.

[@ericgarcia8289]

My favorite player ever and the reason why I got into watching football more ✊🏾 thank you for inspiring people and being a great person

[@geemoney412]

That’s my QUARTERBACK!🖤💛

[@chherb4881]

Love when the authentic Russ comes out for the camera. I am so glad he landed with the Steelers. Steeler fans have much to cheer for and I wish them well. Would love to see Russ play a few more years and mentor Fields. Coach Tomlin deserves a ton of praise.

[@Beermalls]

What I like about Russ is that professionalism! This guy was injured but on the sideline still dressed with head set on! Showed me his leadership,work ethic, and hunger to get back out there! He could have been in sweat pants cracking jokes getting paid!

[@hanswurl583]

Glad to see Russ get his due in the comments. Watching him as a Seahawks fan for 10 years was an amazing experience. He was an amazing citizen of our city and made the franchise proud every second.

[@zone00official]

Amazing interview. Love the insight, positivity and the energy. Even more of a fan now!

[@Sandra-ir5bm]

An amazing person. So well spoken and grounded and real. Let’s get the 7th!

[@SouperDave]

You’re OUR guy!!!

[@elwoodclark1912]

Russ still can ball. He fits perfectly w the Steelers. I'm happy he's in my team. Been waiting for a while for qb can bring it back for the Steelers. Let's go

[@geraldinetunstalle6044]

Pray my daughter marries a guy that is like him. Positive, consistent, loving what he does, family oriented and just a nice guy.
