Thread: Meet the man who is leaving Seattle for Denver to help Broncos QB Russell Wilson 'be great'

PARKER, Colo. – On Thursday morning, Jake Heaps spent four hours on the radio airwaves in Seattle, wrapping up his final day as the co-host of a mid-day sports show.

Less than 24 hours later, he found himself walking between fields among roughly 500 campers at Colorado's Chaparral High School, in the market he’ll be building the next phase of his career and life in.

Heaps hopped on a plane to get to the greater Denver area for the first of what will be many Russell Wilson Passing Academy camps, having worked with Wilson, the Broncos’ new star quarterback, for the past five years.

Heaps, a Washington native who played quarterback for BYU, Kansas and Miami (Fla.) in college and who spent parts of three offseasons on NFL rosters, will continue to be involved in Wilson's Passing Academy but also will serve as Wilson’s full-time, private quarterback coach.
