The Denver Broncos came into the 2022 season with a great defense, one of the NFL’s best running backs in Javonte Williams, a talented group of receivers, and a new quarterback in Russell Wilson who was supposed to put them over the top.
Needless to say, that didn’t happen. The Broncos, who fired head coach Nathaniel Hackett on December 26, are playing out the string with a 4-12 record. They would, if the 2023 NFL draft happened today, have the third overall pick, but they traded that pick to the Seattle Seahawks for Wilson’s services. And Wilson, who has had an absolutely disastrous season, ranks 30th in DYAR and 28th in DVOA among qualifying NFL starting quarterbacks. He had never ranked lower than 15th in either metric before this season.
