Melvin Gordon thinks Russell Wilson has MVP season in him

To say former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had a tough debut year with the Broncos is an understatement. After finally forcing his way out of Seattle, Wilson found his new NFL home in Denver, and things didn’t exactly go as according to plan.

Wilson easily had the worst year of his career as the Broncos cratered to 5-12. Wilson’s reputation was sullied drastically as he and his team became the punchline of every joke. However, things could be on the upswing for the former Wisconsin Badger. Denver hired head coach Sean Payton this offseason, and one former teammate of Wilson’s thinks it will be a key difference-maker.

Former Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III believes that under Payton, Wilson can return to being an MVP-caliber player.

Gordon’s three-year tenure in Denver came to a halt last year when the Broncos cut him because of his costly fumble issues. He was quickly picked up by the division rival Kansas City Chiefs, with whom he earned a Super Bowl ring.
