5 NFL superstars who've had poor starts to the 2022 season ft. Russell Wilson

We are nearly halfway through the 2022 NFL season, and while some of the league's stars have balled out, many others have been disappointments so far this season.

Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes have looked as good as ever, but plenty of fellow superstars have struggled so far this year. Here are five superstars who've struggled so far in 2022.

#5 - Russell Wilson

Since being traded to the Denver Broncos during the 2022 NFL offseason, Russell Wilson has struggled to adapt.

Wilson has only managed five touchdowns against three interceptions in his six starts thus far, and Denver currently sit at 2-5. Wilson has missed some easy reads, and he and new head coach Nathaniel Hackett have struggled to gel.

The Seattle Seahawks look better than ever with Geno Smith at quarterback, and they may have had the last laugh with the trade as Wilson has been below par at best this year.

#4 - Brandin Cooks

Despite putting up six 1000+ yard seasons throughout his career, Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been struggling so far in 2022.

Cooks has only amassed 281 receiving yards in six games, averaging just 46 per game. He's only found the end zone once as he struggles to connect with quarterback Davis Mills.

Cooks has been involved in trade rumors over the last week, and a fresh start could unlock what could be an elite wideout.

Big-name WRs generating trade interest:
-- #Texans WR Brandin Cooks has been the target of multiple calls.
-- #Steelers WR Chase Claypool has been in focus, but is not expected to be deal, barring a shift.
-- Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy has been the center of calls, as DEN sputtered.
