NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt went off on Russell Wilson after the Broncos loss to the Colts on Thursday Night Football.
On the latest edition of ‘Good Morning Football,’ Brandt blasted Wilson for being “one of the least authentic personalities he had ever seen in the NFL.
“I think Russell Wilson is one of the least authentic personalities we have in this league,”
“I think Russell Wilson is a poser. And that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person. I actually think he’s a good person. I think he tries to be something that he’s not and when you make $245M, you either got to be a really great guy with the locker room or you’ve got to be an amazing player.”
“Brady, who makes half of what Russell’s making, is both. Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, both. Allen, people love him, he’s amazing. Kyler Murray, we’ll find out. First of all, the Broncos’ fan base has no history with him, no allegiance to him, this is not a Seahawks thing that they drafted him and they grew up and he’s their guy. None of that.”
Brandt went on to include Wilson’s wife Ciara in his rant.
“I worked (the red carpet at) the NFL Honors. Kelce comes by. Rodgers comes by. Russell Wilson shows up with his sunglasses and his wife, and I think they think they’re Jay-Z and Beyonce and they will literally put their hand up and say ‘No, we’re not talking.’ Why? Because you think you’re that cool and that famous and that amazing and everything is so perfect. That does not work in a locker room.”
Brandt ended his rant by comparing Russell Wilson to Mitch Trubisky
“I don’t know when Russell Wilson turned into Mitch Trubisky, but I wish he would turn into Geno Smith,” Brandt said.

The great irony in calling Wilson a poser because of a bad game when if they had won you wouldn’t say any of this. TV people are faker than anyone, even Wilson who is borderline sociopathic. https://t.co/U2VD62nfiU

“Russell Wilson is a poser” is my favorite media line so far this NFL season 😂 https://t.co/PsNTnB7TYi

I COMPLETELY AGREE with this take! I have been on record on this app for years talking about this! Never cared for Wilson! Great player but seems fake as hell and a “poser” as stated here! Great take Sir! 🫡 https://t.co/4YvcIPodgz
