Wanting to be an NFL player is one thing, but getting there and staying with a team is tricky. Most players only last a few years, and the ones who reach the top and become the best of the best only get there by putting a massive amount of work in. Steelers’ rookie linebacker Payton Wilson seems to understand this, as he recently spoke about how much he loves football and how much it’s meant to him to be working with the guys in the Steelers’ locker room.
Speaking to the media after the second day of minicamp, Wilson was asked if he’s past the wonderment phase of becoming an NFL player, as you can’t stop and smell the roses for too long.
