Payton Wilson Elated To Join Steelers’ ILB Room: ‘What Better Situation Can I Ask For?’

Pittsburgh Steelers third-round pick Payton Wilson is stepping into an inside linebacker room with some established players. Elandon Roberts solidified himself as a quality starting option in 2023 while the team added former Baltimore Ravens LB Patrick Queen in free agency.

While Wilson may not be in line to start immediately, he recognizes the opportunity he does have. That’s to learn from veteran linebackers who have experience in the rigors of the NFL.

“Just learning from these guys is gonna be amazing,” Wilson said after Day 1 of rookie minicamp per video from Aaron Becker.
