Star Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson made an insane comparison, likening himself to Joseph because he’s raising his wife Ciara’s child in the same way as Joseph raised Jesus with Mary.
Speaking to his former teammate and fellow superstar Brandon Marshall, Wilson made the comparison during an episode of Marshall’s “I Am Athlete” podcast released Sunday.
Wilson revealed the moment he knew he was meant to help raise Ciara’s son, Future Zahir, who she shares with megastar rapper Future.
“When I walked in the room and I saw, you know, little Future, he’s nine months at the time, or whatever. He crawls in my lap and it was like you know this is going to be my responsibility,” he told Marshall.
