Russell Wilson 'leaner and meaner' for Broncos

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson (knee) said he feels "leaner and meaner" after losing some weight in the offseason.

What It Means:

Wilson is participating in the Broncos' OTAs after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee earlier this offseason. Coming off a career-worst campaign in his first year with the Broncos, the 34-year-old quarterback is hoping to rebound in 2023 under new head coach Sean Payton.

Wilson truly struggled in his first season away from the Seahawks, leading the Broncos to a brutal 4-11 record while posting career lows in passing touchdowns (16) and completion percentage (60.5%) and absorbing a career-high 55 sacks in 15 games, which tied for the most in the league in 2022.
