Russell Wilson’s time in Pittsburgh Steelers training camp didn’t get off to such a fast start, but he finished strong. Justin Fields opened the door for a quarterback competition in Pittsburgh, but Wilson has an opportunity to slam it shut. It’s fair to wonder if Wilson, who will turn 36 during this season, has enough left in the tank to be a successful quarterback, but former NFL defensive end Akbar Gbajabiamila believes the narrative about Wilson is all wrong.
Gbajabiamila played in the league from 2003-2008, but now he works as an analyst. Appearing on the show Good Morning Football, he said Wilson isn’t as bad as everyone makes him out to be, pointing to 2023, his final season in Denver.
