2. MVP Potential

Insanely, no voter has ever selected Russell Wilson for the prestigious MVP award. That’s even though he’s one of the league’s most consistent players. That’s not to say that he should have won it, but at the very least he should be in the running. It’s safe to say that Wilson has an eye on this individual prize. He would surely love to have this accolade.

The odds of Wilson winning the MVP award are down from +3000 to +1400 (via Yahoo!) To put this into perspective, only four other players have lower odds. The odds may decrease again if Wilson settles into life in Denver quickly. It appears as though the oddsmakers believe that Wilson and the Broncos are a match made in heaven. That’s great for their Super Bowl dreams.

1. Raised Levels

The moment Wilson steps into the Broncos locker room the entire team will sit up and pay attention. That wouldn’t happen with a rookie, even if they’re a number one pick. Nor would it feel the same if it was an established mid-tier QB like Kirk Cousins. Wilson is an elite superstar and not many NFL teams get their hands on these in their prime.

It’s highly likely that the opportunity to play with such a legend will improve the Broncos’ psychological levels. It’s not just about Wilson’s ability on the field but also the confidence he exudes. Meanwhile, he brings a phenomenal resume with him. This will inspire his teammates and help them in their pursuit of glory. Of course, this brings pressure but it’s an exciting moment.
