The Pittsburgh Steelers bolstered their inside linebacker group with the addition of the 2023 Bednarik and Butkus Award winner in NC State’s Payton Wilson. This was after they made Patrick Queen their highest-paid free-agent addition in team history. The Steelers want no part of the struggle they endured in 2023 with seven different starters at the position, and they have made the unit a real strong point of the team. Wilson was taken with the No. 98 pick at the end of the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Many thought his tape and skills were the cream of the crop for the ILB class, but injury concerns caused him to slide to the Steelers at great value.
