Although rookies are going to have ups and downs throughout training camp, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie LB Payton Wilson has been living up to the hype. Wilson was selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but almost everyone has said he has first-round talent.
Having first-round talent is one thing, but you have to unlock that talent through hard work and preparation. Wilson has that with Steelers Depot’s own Alex Kozora noting in his training camp diaries that he is almost always the first player on the field for practice.
Wilson also lucked out in that he joined a defense with a ton of veterans from whom he can learn.
