newly acquired Denver Broncos attack player Russell Wilson made a boisterous first impression in the Mile High City to kick off training camp on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old veteran not only arrived at training camp in Englewood, Colorado, driving a tank of an SUV, but also made the bold decision to sport his own jersey, a move few on social media have seen.
Unsurprisingly, his fashion statement generated much discussion, with many criticizing his choice despite his jersey being the number one selling jersey in the league.
On Tuesday, Colin Cowherd voiced his opinion in favor of the veteran QB entering his 11th season in the NFL.
“The Kardashians changed everything,” Cowherd said. “Everyone is a brand. Tom Brady uses ‘The TB12 Method’ everywhere he goes, so if [Wilson] wants to wear his own jersey, Tom Brady wears all kinds of Tom Brady stuff.
“In 2022, all the guys think they’re tough. I find Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson, to be honest with you, and it’s a bit refreshing. A bit silly. A bit hopeful. They’re a bit optimistic.”

Russell Wilson caught the attention of football fans when he wore his own jersey to Denver Broncos training camp. Colin Cowherd reacts to Wilson’s fashion decision.
Cowherd added that he believes the narrative that drives the “tough” and “cool” culture we currently live in is driven by the media.
“They did a study years ago on the media, comparing them to the average American. The media drink more than the average public. They gossip more than the average public. And being cool is more important to the media. It wasn’t until recently. We felt Brady was kind of cool. You guys called him a jerk for 15-20 years in New England. I heard Peyton Manning is a jerk. They’re all my favorite guys.
“The media loves Aaron Rodgers, I find him disgusting,” Cowherd added. “He’s got to be the smartest guy in the room. Prickly. Great with a lead, but he often disappears like the fourth quarter at Lambeau Field against the [San Francisco] 49ers.”
