To hammer home the point one more time, Russell Wilson is embracing all of his new teammates, especially the ones tasked with protecting the quarterback. As he did for Troy Fautanu and several other Pittsburgh Steelers newcomers, Wilson made a quick phone call to fourth-round pick Mason McCormick, welcoming him to the team.
“Russell Wilson Facetimed me as soon as I got drafted,” McCormick said via Erie’s JET24 News. “That was pretty cool. A lot of the vets have reached out.”
Wilson did the same, or at least attempted to, with Troy Fautanu, who missed his initial call on his flight to Pittsburgh.
