Tucker didn't miss his chance to mock Wilson
It seems everyone is having a laugh over Russell Wilson’s bizarre plane behavior, including his NFL brethren.
Wilson has been the butt of jokes ever since it was revealed he was doing high knees in the aisle of the team’s plane while his teammates slept as the Denver Broncos flew to London earlier this week to get ready to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Ravens kicker Justin Tucker couldn’t help himself from poking fun at the quarterback following Baltimore’s 27-22 road win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Thursday Night Football.” When Marlon Humphrey went live on Instagram with the Ravens traveling back to Baltimore, the veteran cornerback asked Tucker for some commentary.
Tucker surely didn’t disappoint, taking a couple of shots at Wilson, which can be seen on the video The Baltimore Sun’s Jonas Shaffer posted on Twitter.
“I mean what do you want to know? What are we doing on the plane ride back home?” Tucker said. “I heard Lamar (Jackson) is leading us in high knees. Ravens flock, let’s fly.”
The last part by Tucker also mocks Wilson, who constantly says Denver’s motto of “Broncos country, let’s ride.”
Wilson, who is coming off a hamstring injury, and the Broncos have been a laughing stock lately for how dreadful they have been offensively with the Super Bowl champ looking like a complete shell of himself.
A win in London over the Jaguars could help turn things around for the Broncos, but either way, Wilson should try to get some rest and relaxation on the plane ride home to avoid further embarrassment.
