Broncos star Russell Wilson claims he was 'doing high knees in the aisle' on his flight to London

Daily Mail  

Apparently the 'fasten your seatbelt' sign is no match for the man who leads Broncos Country with a resounding 'Let's Ride'. Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson proclaimed himself 'ready to roll' after spending four hours on the flight from Denver to London doing stretches and exercises in the aisles of the plane. Broncos QB Russell Wilson said he spent half of the team's flight to London doing stretches and exercises on the plane, saying, 'I was doing high knees' while others were sleeping 'I feel great, ready to roll,' Wilson said. Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett says Wilson's health 'is trending in the right way' Backup Brett Rypien threw for 225 yards and one interception against the Jets in his second career start. The Broncos lost their fourth straight despite another outstanding defensive performance, and Hackett has faced more scrutiny than any rookie coach in the league because of his team's offensive woes and his debatable in-game decision-making.
