Russell Wilson has been named the Pittsburgh Steelers’ lone captain on offense, showing how much leadership he has brought to the team. Even though he hasn’t played a regular-season snap with the Steelers, he is their leader on offense. It’s a testament to how valuable his NFL experience is. Cam Heyward, who was also named a captain Monday, seems to believe that Wilson can provide the steady hand the offense has needed.
“I think on the offensive side of the ball, there’s a lot of leadership that was needed,” Heyward told reporters Monday after practice via Steelers Live on Twitter.
