Russell Wilson ruthlessly mocked over viral Subway ad
Russell Wilson has opened himself up to endless criticism this season with the way he has played, but Subway is making it even easier for fans to rag on the Denver Broncos quarterback.
Wilson has an endorsement deal with Subway. The ads he has appeared in for the fast food chain have been cringeworthy, to say the least. One of them, which you can see below, went viral on Thursday. In it, Wilson promotes the “Dangerwich.”

One of Wilson’s many self-proclaimed nicknames is “DangeRuss.” He even uses it on his social media profiles. The marketing team at Subway obviously loves it, but Twitter was not kind to Russ.
A competing sub company needs to hire Geno Smith ASAP to combat the awfulness of the Russell Wilson Subway ads.

What do I win if I have yet to watch a Russell Wilson Subway commercial this season?

Wilson has just five touchdown passes in his first six games with the Broncos. It was corny enough when he was giving himself new nicknames when he played well in Seattle. The timing of Subway’s campaign is just plain unfortunate.
