He may have played just 21 snaps Sunday afternoon at Acrisure Stadium against the Baltimore Ravens, but those 21 snaps were quite impactful from Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie linebacker Payton Wilson.
Wilson, according to Pro Football Focus’s grades, turned in an “elite” performance against Baltimore, earning the highest grade of any Steelers player coming out of the 18-16 win for the Black and Gold to seize full control of the AFC North.
The third-round draft pick graded out at a 92.4 overall, leading the charge for the Steelers in the grades department. In fact, he was the highest-graded player in the game overall.
