NFL fans troll Russell Wilson as Steelers QB drops new workout video: "10 TDs 9 INTS, benched by week 7 incoming"

Russell Wilson has returned to social media to showcase his offseason preparations, but his detractors are not impressed.

On Wednesday, the former Super Bowl-winning quarterback posted a video of himself working out for the first time as a Pittsburgh Steeler. In it, he does some footwork and passing drills:
