Russell Wilson's trade to the Denver Broncos was labeled as one of the smartest moves of the offseason. The Broncos had to part with a boatload of draft picks and players, but in return, got what they felt would be a franchise quarterback, their first since Peyton Manning.

But Wilson has turned into a bit of a punching bag for memers. It's not just his poor on-field performances that have led to him being trolled, but also his actions off it.

With the Denver Broncos flying over to London, UK to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, their quarterback explained in excruciating detail just how he spent time on his eight-hour flight:

"I don’t really get jet lagged too often. I’ve traveled enough to get my system down. I was on the plane, the first two hours I was watching a film... Then for the next four hours I was doing treatment on the plane. I was walking up and down the aisles. Everybody was knocked out, I was doing high knees and working on all my legs and everything else, making sure I’m ready to rock."

It was this peculiar behavior from the quarterback that prompted NFL fans to once again take aim at the Broncos star. One fan stated that at this point, the quarterback is doing things that are plain weird.

Another fan pointed out just how annoying it must have been for his teammates to deal with their QB during the long haul.

Now if this one doesn't make you break into a laugh, we're not quite sure what will.

Here are some of the best replies we've gathered from fans on the internet to the Broncos QB's bizarre plane incident.


Russell Wilson's struggles with the Broncos so far

Whatever plan the Denver Broncos had for Russell Wilson has clearly not worked so far. After signing a deal that made him the second-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL (per-season income), Wilson was received with a lot of fan fare.

But as the franchise now sits dead last in the league in terms of points per game (14.3) questions are being raised about the quarterback's output.

Currently last in a stacked AFC West, the quarterback will have to turn things around in Denver quickly to justify the massive price tag now attached to his name.
