The Pittsburgh Steelers made some significant upgrades to their roster this offseason, particularly at the quarterback position and with the addition of LB Patrick Queen. Still, in a loaded AFC, the Steelers haven’t done enough to solidify themselves as a legitimate contender in the conference. In Judy Battista’s AFC hierarchy for NFL.com, she put the Steelers in the “vast middle class,” a group that also includes the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Battista believes that Wilson could be a “huge step up” at quarterback from Kenny Pickett, who the Steelers traded to the Philadelphia Eagles last month.
