Steelers At No Point Had ‘Legitimate Level Of Confidence’ Roman Wilson Understood Offense Enough To Play, Labriola Believes

The Pittsburgh Steelers may need Roman Wilson in 2025, depending on how they address the wide receiver position. As a third-round pick, that isn’t an unreasonable expectation, of course, but will he be up for it? While he struggled through injuries during his rookie season, Bob Labriola believes his inability to contribute went beyond that.

Labriola wrote for the Steelers’ website, “My understanding of the situation is that at no point was there a legitimate level of confidence that Roman Wilson 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”.
