While a lot of people thought the Pittsburgh Steelers should pursue a veteran quarterback like Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson, few actually thought they would. So when Gerry Dulac reported that there was mutual interest on Thursday and then reports came about Wilson actually flying to Pittsburgh for a meeting on Friday, it was a surprise.
When ESPN Steelers reporter Brooke Pryor joined Adam Schein on Schein on Sports on Mad Dog Sports Radio Friday, she said it wasn’t just a eye-opening to her.
“I can tell you that based on the text and phone calls that I had yesterday when news started to leak out that there was some interest between the Steelers and Russell Wilson, this really caught a lot of people around the league off guard,” Pryor said.
