Steelers Confident that Russell Wilson Will ‘Prove People Wrong’

Pittsburgh All-Pro defensive end Cam Heyward shared his belief in the team’s new QB1.

The Pittsburgh Steelers completely flipped their quarterback room on its head this offseason, with an entirely new set of names lining the depth chart. Things began when they cut backup signal caller Mitchell Trubisky. The Steelers followed that up by signing nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson to a one-year, veteran minimum contract.

Pittsburgh’s veteran defensive end, Cam Heyward, says the team is confident in Wilson’s ability, and that the quarterback will prove his doubters wrong in 2024. Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show, Heyward said:

You just look for the leadership for a guy that has been in Seattle and won games, won a Super Bowl already. Didn’t have the best time in Denver, but I think he’s a hungry guy that is ready to prove people wrong.

The Steelers weren’t done after the Wilson signing either, not by a long shot.

The team then traded starting quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a few draft picks. That move alone was shocking, but Pittsburgh doubled down on its new-look QB room by trading for the Chicago Bears’ Justin Fields the next day. The team later signed Kyle Allen to finish filling out the depth chart.

Wilson is going to get the first crack at starting in 2024, though Fields will be breathing down his neck as a younger, more mobile version of the veteran quarterback. Still, the team is confident in the former Denver Broncos’ signal caller.
