On defense, most of the big names for the Pittsburgh Steelers are old. T.J. Watt and Jalen Ramsey are in their early 30s, Darius Slay is in his mid-30s, and Cam Heyward is edging closer to his late 30s. However, they’ve got plenty of youth mixed in, including Payton Wilson, who’s in line for a starting role in his sophomore campaign, and rookie edge rusher Jack Sawyer. Their teammate, Nick Herbig, praised Wilson as he’s starting to settle in for his second season.
“You can tell he’s not a rookie anymore, you know,” Herbig said after practice Wednesday, via Pittsburgh’s DSEN.
