Russ was fun to root for when he was a scrappy underdog. As a self-anointed elitist? Not so much. It's been a while since I've believed in him. But being honest, and probably going against the grain...Well, I'm just going to say it, The Russ Wilson I recently witnessed in that work-out video he released: Wow.
If both men were in this draft, and the Bears loving Caleb Williams at 1, how could they not love Wilson? Of course, that was just a work-out video, but he made throws with zip and precision that I've never seen from Williams. And never will see from Williams. I've called Williams a poor man's version of Wilson in the past and I stand by that.
As phony as he may be, Russ does present himself pretty well (if you can blank out "Let's ride", Subway sandwiches and his and hers matching Gucci). In my eyes, Williams is just absolutely unlikable. Wilson at least had the sense to market himself as a pleasant being. Again, strictly based on that video and what appeared to be a determined and re-re-invented Russ Wilson, with all thing$ being equal, I'd take him over Caleb Williams. IF not for being a Steeler, I'd be rooting for Russ the underdog again. I'll never root for Caleb Williams (but I will root for Rome Odunze).
