Russell Wilson memes mocking Broncos QB's mid-flight workout fill social media

The saga that is the Russell Wilson cringe-fest has quickly become much more entertaining than anything the Broncos have done this season.

The embattled quarterback, in the midst of his worst season to date, missed Week 7 with a hamstring injury and is taking an interesting approach to rehab, to say the least.

Wilson told reporters Wednesday that while the rest of the team was sleeping on the eight-hour flight to London ahead of Sunday’s game against the Jaguars, he was in the aisles working out for four hours.

Russell Wilson worked out and stretched for four of the eight hours on the flight from Denver to London. Said he was doing high knees in the aisle when the rest of the guys were asleep.

“Everybody was knocked out, I was doing high knees and working on all my legs and everything else, making sure I’m ready to rock,” Wilson told reporters, adding that he spent three more hours watching film and one hour sleeping.
