Russell Wilson shares his feelings about Aaron Judge

While speaking with SNY's Anthony McCarron, the Giants quarterback shared his thoughts and feelings about Aaron Judge. Wilson heaped praise on the two-time AL MVP, highlighting how he has polished himself into an incredible talent over the years.

"It's cool, obviously being around Aaron Judge, a guy that I was actually locker roommates with in the clubhouse," Wilson said. "A guy I truly admire, the great year he's living....."

"The biggest thing is just him staying the course. He knows that, and he's doing great. I mean, it's no surprise why he's so great. He works at it every day, and he's a special, unique player. But as good of a player as he is, he's just as good as a man, if not better."

Russell Wilson spent the 2024 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Before that, he had an underwhelming two-season stint with the Denver Broncos. However, Wilson is looking to redeem himself as a part of the Giants.

He is projected to be the QB1 on a depth chart that boasts Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart, who was acquired in the first round of this year's draft.
