Jimmy Garoppolo calls Russell Wilson a 'freak athlete' in tribute ahead of Denver clash

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has been called a 'freak' by Jimmy Garoppolo of the San Francisco 49ers, ahead of their clash on Sunday night.

The Broncos and the 49ers face-off at the Empower Field in Denver in the late game of the day, with both teams heading into the match with a 1-1 record. Garoppolo has faced Wilson many times over his NFL career, so knows what to expect from the former Seattle Seahawks QB, but through his experience he's called him a 'freak'.

Wilson has a Super Bowl title to his name, and is adjusting to life in Denver after leaving Seattle at the end of last season. But even though he's had a slow start to this season, Garoppolo is wary of the threat he offers.
