Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has actively helped the team recruit free agents, calling players like pass rusher Randy Gregory during the first wave of free agency.
The big signings have since calmed down and attention turned to the NFL draft last weekend. Denver used its first to picks to select pass rusher Nik Bonitto and tight end Greg Dulcich. Wilson quickly reached out to both of his new teammates.
“It was crazy,” Bonitto said last Saturday. “I talked to him all last night. He’s just an extremely humble dude. He was excited for me. He’s a guy — he could’ve done whatever he wanted to do but he’s a legend in the game. Just getting that call from him, knowing how much I meant to him coming into here — I just want to pay him back tenfold and work as hard as I can coming into new beginnings.”
