Steelers defensive leaders all reached out to Russell Wilson

The Pittsburgh Steelers officially introduced Russell Wilson as their new quarterback on Friday.

Speaking at his introductory press conference, Wilson noted the defensive leaders, such as T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and Cam Heyward were influential in him coming to Pittsburgh. He also noted that he and Heyward FaceTimed for over an hour ahead of Wilson’s decision to join the Steelers.

Seems like the defensive leaders, Cam Heyward, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and T.J. Watt, all talked to Russell Wilson before he decided where he would sign.

Talked to Heyward for over an hour on FaceTime before that decision.
