Message received from Pittsburgh Steelers rookie inside linebacker Payton Wilson. In one of his first interviews since being drafted in the third round, Wilson is already in Pittsburgh and appeared on Cam Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast during the Steelers’ draft party Saturday at Acrisure Stadium. And he’s not holding back about the way he wants to play.
“If there’s 75 plays, I’m just the kind of person that wants to make 75 tackles, whatever it is. That’s just how I’ve played. Grew up in a very blue collared area, grew up wrestling. So that mentality’s kind of been instilled in me my whole life.
