Can Russell Wilson Handle Sean Payton's Coaching Style?

Former Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright wonders if Russell Wilson can handle the harsh coaching style of Broncos head coach Sean Payton, who won't hesitate to call players out after a loss. Wright claimed that Wilson's former coach, Pete Carroll, shielded him from that type of treatment. Wilson spent the first decade of his career with the Seahawks before being traded to the Broncos in March 2022. The Broncos finished the 2022 season with a dismal record of 5-12 and fired their former head coach Nathaniel Hackett after 15 games. Wilson and Payton have bonded this offseason, but the former Saints head coach has continued to lay the groundwork for changes within the organization.
