‘Russ Said Watch That Knee Baby’: Ciara’s Dedication Post to Russell Wilson Derails When Fans Zoom In on Her Knee Placement  

Earlier this year, Russell Wilson shocked fans everywhere after he and his wife Ciara announced that the quarterback was traded to the Denver Broncos with a family photo.

Russell, a former Wisconsin Badgers standout, was selected in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft by the Seattle Seahawks and over the next 10 seasons led the team to two Super Bowls, winning one, and eight playoff appearances.

On July 28, in honor of Russell’s first day in training camp with the Broncos team, Ciara dedicated a post to her husband alongside a quick clip of her and their family commemorating the special moment. 

The video starts with Ciara and Russell posing and smiling for the camera as the “Jump” vocalist lifts her knee to his groin area. As the recording continues, Russell is seen adjusting his private parts and slightly moving Ciara’s knee. 

The clip ends with the couple, and their children, including Sienna Princess Wilson, Win Harrison Wilson, and Russell’s stepson Future Zahir Wilburn jumping on the football field as the track “Jump Around” by House of Pain blared in the background. 

In addition to the upload, Ciara wrote the caption, “Training Camp Day 1. Year 11. We love you @DangeRussWilson @Broncos Country. Let’s Ride #Family.” As fans viewed the video, many mentioned Russell’s adjustment after Ciara placed her knee near his groin.

“Russ said watch that knee baby.”

“Watch that knee Ciara!”

“@ciara better watch that knee.”

“Don’t worry Russ she won’t hurt the family jewels.”

Among the previous responses, others pointed out how much they loved the never-ending support Ciara, Russell, and their family has for each other. One wrote, “Loveeee this!!! The support you have for each other is (fire emoji).”

Another said, “I love this family. I just love to see how they celebrate each milestone together despite how small it may be. So inspiring!”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
