Thread: Peyton Manning: Russell Wilson brings “unique” skills, leadership to Broncos

There are few people who can relate to what new Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has experienced over the past decade in general and the last month in particular.

Success with the team that drafted him. … Multiple Super Bowl appearances and at least one championship. … Gaining comfort as the face of an entire franchise. … Regular trips to the playoffs. … And leaving his original team.

But Peyton Manning can. Ten years ago, Manning went through the same thing.

“I’ve talked to Russell a number of times and we’ve had conversations about some of the things that helped me in my transition to a different team that I think can apply to anybody making the jump, especially after being in a place for a long time,” Manning said last week in a phone interview with The Denver Post to promote his Sweetens Cove bourbon brand. “(I’ve had) conversations Coach (Nathaniel) Hackett as well about some of those things., maybe some do’s and don’ts that helped me and can certainly apply and Russell can hit the ground running here in his first year.”
