Russell Wilson may not have practiced for the Pittsburgh Steelers today, but his presence was still felt. Wilson is a Super Bowl champion and is the most veteran quarterback the Steelers have had since Ben Roethlisberger. While he’s currently day-to-day with a minor injury, he should still be to front-runner for the Steelers starting quarterback job. It seems Wilson’s leadership has been as advertised as well, according to general manager Omar Khan.
In a video from the team’s YouTube, Khan spoke to the media after the first day of practice and was asked about how much Wilson’s leadership felt necessary for the Steelers offense considering their youth.
