Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson admitted he was “devastated” when he heard the news that coach Nathaniel Hackett was fired on Monday.
It’s no secret that the team struggled in Wilson’s and Hackett’s first seasons in Denver. While reflecting on the duo’s 15 games together, Wilson revealed that he wish he had “played better” for Hackett.
“He’s going to be an amazing coach,” Wilson said. “He's one of the brighter minds I've been around. ... The reality is, I wish I could have played better for him, too. I wish I could have played at the standard and the level that I've always played at, and know how to play at.”
