The Denver Broncos adding Russell Wilson will start to pay off very soon. As the new quarterback in town, he will be tasked with elevating the players around him.
One of the players that will benefit the most from Wilson's presence is Jerry Jeudy. The 23-year-old wide receiver has tons of potential and could start to establish himself as one of the best in the NFL. Now that he is catching passes from one of the best quarterbacks in recent memory, he is in line to have a breakout season.
Jeudy told reporters that Wilson is a Hall-of-Fame QB and someone that can be a big leader for the Broncos' offense.
Jerry Jeudy to reporters on Russell Wilson's impact:
"He can help me a lot. He's a Hall of Fame quarterback who came into the offense as a leader and has gotten me better."

In 19 career games, Jeudy has recorded 1,323 receiving yards on 90 catches, including three touchdowns. He has the talent to be the leading wideout on a strong receiving core that features Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick and KJ Hamler.
Wilson has elevated talented wide receivers throughout his career. The young Denver receivers could all have very big years and Wilson is looking forward to working with them. The Broncos also have Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon to attack via the ground. With Wilson now organizing the talented players the Broncos have had on offense, they should be able to improve greatly.
As Wilson looks to ride with Broncos country, he will need Jeudy to tap into his potential and become a WR1. Denver is looking to compete right away with Wilson. In a hyper-competitive division, it's going to take everyone to get them back into the postseason.
