The Athletic Questions How Much Of A ‘Spark’ Russell Wilson, Passing Game Can Provide Steelers’ Offense

Things have gone quite well this offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers, seemingly on all fronts, in free agency, the trade market, and via the NFL Draft. The roster looks quite good — on paper.

But one major question remains for the Steelers, one that won’t be answered until the actual games get underway. How much will the passing game provide the Steelers’ offense under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and new starting quarterback Russell Wilson?

The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo has that question for the Steelers in a piece Monday morning looking at the outlook of Pittsburgh following the draft, which makes sense considering the Steelers seemingly aced the draft, addressing the offensive line in a major way, adding another passing-game weapon to the receiver room, and building a draft class that matches the personality and play-style Pittsburgh wants.
