Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Payton Wilson had a solid rookie season working in a three-man rotation with Patrick Queen and Elandon Roberts, but with Roberts leaving in free agency, Wilson is expected to play a bigger role during his second year. After playing 45% of Pittsburgh’s defensive snaps last year, Wilson said he wants to be a three-down linebacker and play “every single snap.”
“Whatever they need me to do, I’m gonna do it. Obviously, I want to be out there every single snap trying to prove myself. Out here in OTAs and camp to do that, but whatever is handed to me, right now it’s been great being out here every snap and I’m just gonna do whatever I can to help this team,” Wilson said via video by Chris Adamski of TribLive on Twitter.
