The Denver Broncos just launched the squad’s most anticipated training camp since the 2016 retirement of Peyton Manning, thanks entirely to the presence of new quarterback Russell Wilson, who brings both mega-watt star power and a deep understanding about how to make the most of it, beginning with his mastery of social media.

But while a lot of the posts on Wilson’s Twitter account are about branding (see multiple items hyping The House of LR&C, a new Park Meadows fashion outlet he co-owns with his glamorous wife, singer Ciara), he also vigorously promotes a winning attitude, which for him is all about faith, family and the power of positive thinking. He basically comes across as a highly religious modern-day Dale Carnegie who replaced his right arm with a rocket launcher.

Shortly after his signing, we noted that Wilson is the most Jesus-loving Broncos signal caller since Tim Tebow, and indeed, he’s mentioned a couple of key Bible verses in the tweets he’s sent winging into the universe over the past few months, along with assorted salutes to the Savior and praying-hands emojis. But there are also plenty of messages about leadership, confidence and swagger, all of which are enhanced by the peeks he offers into his lifestyle.

Examples include pics of Wilson attending Wimbledon; hanging with Mellody Hobson, a member of the Broncos new ownership group, and her husband, Star Wars creator and father-of-Yoda George Lucas; and showing up at camp in a crazy ready-for-war vehicle that looks ready to star in a 21st-century update of Knight Rider.
