‘It’s Coming Together For Him:’ Teryl Austin Credits Payton Wilson For His Development

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has been elite this year, and part of that is thanks to several new additions. This past offseason, much of the focus was on their offensive additions, but they did a lot to improve their defense too. More specifically, they did a great job shoring up linebacker. Signing Patrick Queen helped, and drafting Payton Wilson has also begun to pay dividends.

Wilson is coming into his own after making the play of the game in the Steelers’ 18-16 win over the Baltimore Ravens Sunday, and no one could be happier for the rookie than his defensive coordinator.
