The Pittsburgh Steelers overhaul of their quarterback room began with the team signing Russell Wilson, who was released by the Denver Broncos following two subpar seasons. During an appearance on The Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show, CBS Sports’ Aditi Kinkhabwala explained some of Wilson’s issues under Sean Payton with the Broncos last season, noting he struggled to manage play-calling.
“He struggled a lot last year. He was constantly climbing out of the back of the pocket. He struggled with snap counts. He couldn’t manage or handle the play-calling. They went from putting a wristband on to by the end of the season, all the play calls had to be two words and everybody else was required to know what the play calls were.
