Let Russ Cook

Let Russ Cook is a catchphrase used by American football fans in reference to quarterback Russell Wilson, essentially meaning let Russell Wilson be himself and do his thing, which is taken from the slang expression " let him cook ." The phrase was first used on Twitter in 2019 and became increasingly popularized over the following years as a rallying cry to support Wilson, inspiring him to trademark the phrase in 2020. In 2022, following Wilson's trade to the Denver Broncos and a perceived dip in his in-game performance, people started using the phrase ironically to criticize Wilson in memes and jokes.
