Last night, former NC State All-American Linebacker Payton Wilson made his NFL Preseason debut in the Steelers’ 20-12 loss to the Texans in their 1st Preseason game of 2024. Wilson shined brightly, leading Pittsburgh in tackles with 7 (1 TFL).
Pittsburgh Head Coach Mike Tomlin had good things to say about Wilson’s performance, though he wasn’t shocked.
Mike Tomlin on rookie LB Payton Wilson vs Texans: “I thought he did some really good things. A tackle on a punt there early. He was active on defense, but I think it’s kind of reflective of the production that we’ve seen from him in Latrobe.
