In recounting the rookie season of Pittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson, Bob Labriola wrote that the team “at no point” had “a legitimate level of confidence” that he “understood the offense and his responsibilities within it to the degree that would allow him to execute it at game speed during the stretch run of an NFL regular season”.
Such a description raised alarm bells for many Steelers fans, given that Wilson was a third-round pick. Amid a series of injuries, he played five snaps in one game and was hardly heard from again. Mark Kaboly doesn’t believe that such a characterization, however, is anything alarming.
