As Russell Wilson looks to rebound from a much-criticized 2022 season, Broncos offensive lineman Garett Bolles delivered a staunch message on Thursday to those who doubt the quarterback’s ability to return to form in 2023.
Bolles, who missed the final 13 weeks of the ’22 season with a broken leg, spoke to reporters about his firm belief in Wilson heading into next season amid criticism over his rocky first season in Denver.
As both Wilson’s friend and teammate, Bolles said he was “angry” about the backlash his QB faced, revealing that even he took the criticism “very personal.” After offering his latest public defense of the nine-time Pro Bowler, Bolles then described what he hopes Wilson’s play in Year 12 will have his critics doing by season’s end.
