Russell Wilson is now the unquestioned starter of the Pittsburgh Steelers after the team traded away Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles. As Pittsburgh’s starter, Wilson is on a path to revive his Hall of Fame candidacy in Pittsburgh, according to analyst Bucky Brooks.
“Russell Wilson likely entered the offseason looking for an opportunity to start for a winning team. In signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the 35-year-old quarterback not only checked that box, but he put himself in prime position to revive his Hall of Fame candidacy,” Brooks wrote on NFL.com.
Brooks cited what Arthur Smith did with Ryan Tannehill in a run-heavy offense, helping Tannehill revive his career in Tennessee.
