Earlier this offseason, Russell Wilson said he’s found the ‘fountain of youth’ with the Steelers. Ahead of training camp, whether or not that’s true is Pittsburgh’s biggest question, Mark Kaboly wrote in an article for The Athletic.
“Wilson turns 36 in November and you can pretty much count on one hand how many quarterbacks that age have won championships. Wilson said at the end of offseason workouts that he found the fountain of youth. He looks the part and works harder than anybody but can that be translated onto the field,” Kaboly writes.
He added that Wilson doesn’t need to play at the level that he did when he won a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks, but he still needs to be a significant upgrade at quarterback for the Steelers to have a chance to compete for a playoff spot.
