Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy reveals state of confidence in Russell Wilson after alarming 2023 slump
Denver Broncos star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is confident in quarterback Russell Wilson's abilities in 2023.
After a disappointing 2023 season that saw Denver finish 5-12 and last place in the AFC West, Jeudy spoke highly of Wilson for this upcoming season after he had a poor 2023 campaign.
Via the Denver Broncos team site, Jeudy thinks Wilson is in for a big 2023 season.
"Just his mentality. Russ is a soldier," said Jeudy. "So just the way he handles his business, the way he handles situations, I just know the type of guy he is and the stuff that he can overcome. In the situations like that, that don't put no fear into a man's heart. And I know that this year, he got a big year coming ahead."
