Watch: Russell Wilson begins his July work with rookie receivers

Camp Russ is getting under way.

During minicamp, Russell Wilson and some of his Broncos teammates said that they planned to get some pre-training camp work in at his San Diego home.

Friday, Wilson posted video to his Instagram story of work with rookie wide receivers Brandon Johnson and Montrell Washington.

Perhaps the best aspect of this is the fact that Wilson is working with two receivers down the depth chart. While Washington could be a factor on special teams as the Broncos’ potential punt and kickoff returner, Johnson is an undrafted rookie who is more likely to be on the practice squad.

But to Wilson, all of his teammates have value. More are expected to travel to San Diego in the coming days for further work in advance of training camp.

There is no doubt that Wilson will keep them busy. And with this work, there is also no doubt that they will hit the ground running when training camp begins July 27.
