Ahead of Sunday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers unveiled a new captain. Inside linebacker Payton Wilson is replacing Miles Killebrew as the team’s special teams captain, receiving the honor after Killebrew suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 6.
Likely due to the short week, the Steelers didn’t have an official special teams captain in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals. But Wilson joined QB Aaron Rodgers, DL Cam Heyward, and EDGE T.J. Watt for the coin toss ahead of yesterday’s loss.
Speaking to reporters Monday, Wilson reacted to the ‘C’ on his jersey.
