AFC Notes: Russell Wilson, Mike Williams, Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs

Broncos

Former Broncos RB Melvin Gordon thinks that QB Russell Wilson still has an MVP-caliber season left in him after moving on from what he says was a bad situation in Denver last season. 

โ€œThe situation wasnโ€™t โ€” it wasnโ€™t good. It wasnโ€™t good,โ€ Gordon said, via Pro Football Talk. โ€œBut like I said, I think theyโ€™ve got the pieces there now thatโ€™s gonna put him in the best situation. What did he do this year? Itโ€™s on him, but I definitely believe theyโ€™ll be a better football team than they were last year.”

Chargers

Chargers HC Brandon Staley is excited about having veteran WR Mike Wiliams with the team in practice this offseason.

โ€œItโ€™s just been special,โ€ Staley said of having Williams at practice, via ChargersWire.com. โ€œMike [Williams] means so much to our team. Heโ€™s one of the top players Iโ€™ve ever coached. I believe that heโ€™s one of the top players in the NFL. Heโ€™s such a big part of what we do and how we do it. Heโ€™s had a fantastic two days out there and heโ€™s ready to have a great training camp.โ€

Chiefs

Veteran Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon said there were other teams interested in him as a free agent, yet he was looking forward to returning to Kansas City.

โ€œThere were a couple of other teams,โ€ McKinnon told reporters, via ChiefsWire.com. โ€œReally, only one other team and another one was (on the fence).โ€

โ€œThis was always somewhere I wanted to be,โ€ McKinnon continued. โ€œI said that last year. I felt the same way this year. So the whole free agency, trying to get things done and get on the same page is always a process. But fortunately, I was able to come back, and this is where my heart is. Iโ€™m excited to be here again. Last year was a long year. I was fortunate to make it through the whole season, every game. But thatโ€™ll definitely take a toll on you. Going into Year 10, (Iโ€™m an) older guy. The good thing about being here, the coaching staff, the medical staff, everybody is on the same page. Coming up with a plan to make sure that Iโ€™m good to go for the season.โ€
