After a disappointing 2022, the Broncos hired offensive guru Sean Payton as coach in hopes of getting quarterback Russell Wilson back to a Pro Bowl-level of performance. Last season, Wilson threw a career-low 16 touchdown passes and wasn’t named to the Pro Bowl for only the second time in 11 NFL seasons.
While Wilson’s play needs work, Payton is also focusing on changing the quarterback’s approach to the game. Specifically, Payton believes Wilson was too focused on his brand last year and needs to get back to focusing on football, according to ESPN’s Seth Wickersham.
In a story published Tuesday, Wickersham mentions a blunt piece of criticism that Payton gave Wilson to sum up what needs to change.
