Will Patrick Queen or Payton Wilson finish the season as the Steelers’ every-down linebacker?
Although Patrick Queen is going into this season once again wearing the green dot, will Payton Wilson take that job? The Steelers claim they view Wilson as an every-down player, and he certainly intends to be. During the preseason, they even gave him an opportunity to wear the green dot and practice on setting the defense.
Of course, Patrick Queen is the one the Steelers spent many millions of dollars on. They draft Payton Wilson in the third round, so there is a sense of investment there, too.
