Retired quarterback and future Hall of Famer Drew Brees believes that Broncos signal caller Russell Wilson can hit his “prime” under new Denver coach Sean Payton.
Payton, who was hired earlier this week to replace Nathaniel Hackett, is re-entering the coaching ranks just one year after retiring from his job with the Saints.
“To me, this is set up to be Russell Wilson’s prime,” Brees told ESPN’s Ed Werder. “Especially with Sean Payton and the system that’s going to be built around him…this is a great opportunity for Russell Wilson.”
