After a difficult half-season in an Atlanta Falcons offense that struggled to find solid quarterback play, new Pittsburgh Steelers WR Van Jefferson is excited to catch passes from an established quarterback. Though Russell Wilson has his own questions to answer, Jefferson sees plenty of bounce-back opportunity for the both of them.
“I think everyone has seen it,” Jefferson said via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about Wilson’s arm strength. “His time in Denver, he’s a great deep ball thrower. Very accurate. That’s something that’s very enticing.”
Though 35 years old with mobility that doesn’t quite match a decade ago, Wilson has a live arm and can fire the ball with precision downfield.
