I feel like we’ve kinda been robbed of Russ fun this year. He got the Steelers gig and we all got ready to make more Russ is Cooked jokes and then he gets hurt and now we’ve watched Justin Fields mediocre his way to two wins in replacement. However, Russ is still Russ, and we’ve still gotten glimpses of peak Russ anyway.

In case you missed it, here is Russell Wilson on the sideline in week 1. You may notice that he is wearing pads. He’s in his full uniform getup. Russell was inactive for this game. Inactive as in he would not have played regardless. If Justin Fields got injured, Russ would have remained on the sideline, not playing football. He still wore his full pads. Russell Wilson is the biggest goober on the planet.

Russ is the kid from class who reminds the teacher they haven’t been assigned the homework yet
Russ is the guy who drives exactly the speed limit on the highway
Russ is the guy who shows up to work 30 minutes early every day and makes sure the boss sees him do it
Russ is the guy who throws a neighborhood BBQ but bans booze from the party
Russ is the guy who gives a 15 minute speech at the wedding before dinner and isn’t even the best man
Russ is the guy who tells everyone he passes on his run to hydrate
Russ uses Threads
Russ is the guy who volunteers to sing at every church mass and is really bad at it
Russ is also the guy who walks around with the donation basket at mass and gives you a disappointed look if you don’t put a buck in
Russ corrects your grammar
Russ pays for WinRAR
Russ is the guy who uses time on an airplane to do high knees in the aisle to stay fit…wait

I was honestly wondering if this joke would even work because I always draw every player in full pads as it is for recognition purposes so I hope it was still funny

 

EDIT: It has been pointed out that apparently Russ was the emergency QB so the pads make more sense but I think wearing pads when unnecessary is still very much in character for Russell Wilson so I claim myself justified in this joke
