Russell Wilson seems to be making a great first impression on the Centennial State as he and singer-wife Ciara visited patients at Colorado Children’s Hospital in Aurora on Tuesday.
According to CBS Denver, the couple talked with children at Seacrest Studios, took some pictures, and signed autographs.
The hospital’s official Instagram account posted a photo of the Wilsons as they posed for a picture with a patient.
“Thanks to @dangerusswilson and @ciara for surprising patients with a personal visit to Seacrest Studios where they signed autographs, took questions from the crowd and read their new book, “Why Not You?” the caption wrote.

“Next time you stop by, we’ll play catch and have a dance party. @Broncos, we think you’ll get along great with our new friends, too.”
During the visit, the couple read their book entitled” “Why Not You?” which encourages young readers to be brave while learning to value themselves. The book title is also the name of the couple’s nonprofit organization to educate children and promote a healthy lifestyle.
Last week, sports anchor/reporter Justin Adams retweeted the hospital’s tweet as they captured the Wilsons interacting with patients and staff at the health center.
