"He’s just dying to be loved": Russell Wilson put on notice as NFL legend warns CBS role could expose his biggest weakness

NFL insiders also questioned whether Wilson can openly criticize players and coaches without worrying about being liked.
The debate has turned his media transition into one of the NFL’s most closely watched storylines before his CBS debut.
