The Denver Broncos were the winners of the Russell Wilson sweepstakes. That outcome came as a joy to the team’s new head coach.
Nathaniel Hackett recalled his reaction to learning of the Wilson trade and admitted there was “a little scream” when he was informed of the deal.
“A little scream,” Hackett told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. “It was one of those somewhat high-pitched but still wanted to be kind of manly screams.”
Tough to blame Hackett for a reaction like that. After all, Wilson is a franchise quarterback and will make the new Broncos coach’s life a lot easier in year one of his tenure.
Wilson should be equally excited about how he will do with the Broncos, considering Hackett’s previous comments about his role in the offense.
