The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first preseason game of the year didn’t have many positive takeaways. There was obviously a lot of rust that needed to be worked off, but one bright spot was rookie linebacker Payton Wilson. Wilson is an athletic freak who only fell in the draft due to injury concerns. If he stays healthy, he has the potential to be an exceptional player. Steelers assistant general manager Andy Weidl seems to be overjoyed that the team managed to land Wilson.
In a video posted to the team’s website, Weidl was asked how he felt about being able to add Wilson to the Steelers.
