The Pittsburgh Steelers went into the 2024 NFL Draft with one thing on their minds – improve the offensive line. And they did just that, double dipping in the first two rounds with the selections of Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier. However, this didn’t completely prevent them from getting talent on the defensive side of the ball. They had two third-round picks, and after going offense again with Roman Wilson, they took North Carolina State LB Payton Wilson with the latter selection.
Falling down draft boards due to medical concerns, Wilson was lauded as one of the bigger steals in the draft due to his extreme athleticism relative to other linebackers.
