The Pittsburgh Steelers knew they’d need a quarterback heading into the 2024 season. They brought in both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to try and remedy that problem. Wilson ended up being named the starter before the year began. At the time, expectations for him and the Steelers were all over the place. Some expected Wilson to return to his former self, while others thought the best football of his career was behind him.
It’s hard to be anything but pleasantly surprised with the level Wilson is playing at. He’s only seen six games this year, but he’s now won five of them.
