How will the Pittsburgh Steelers surround Russell Wilson in 2024?
According to ESPN’s latest 2024 NFL Draft projections, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be adding a potentially game-changing offensive weapon for Russell Wilson. In their latest mock, the Steelers will be selecting Texas wide receiver, Adonai Mitchell when the club is on the clock with the 20th pick in next month’s annual event.
“The Steelers have dramatically overhauled their QB position with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, but they also recently traded Diontae Johnson and could use a standout receiver opposite George Pickens. Mitchell had a standout season at Texas after transferring from Georgia, averaging 15.4 yards per catch and scoring 11 TDs. He can fly at 6-foot-2, running a 4.34 at the combine, and I really like this fit.”
Pittsburgh Steelers’ Quarterback Carousel in 2023
In a season that included starting the likes of former first-round picks, Kenny Pickett and Mitchell Trubisky under center, the Pittsburgh Steelers rode the ‘hot hand’ of Mason Rudolph to a surprise playoff berth. With Pickett’s on-field struggles coupled with his recent injury record, the club decided to trade their former first-round pick, alongside a fourth-round selection in this year’s draft to the Philadelphia Eagles for their cross-town rivals’ third-round pick, this coming April.
The Steelers continued to revamp their quarterback room by signing veteran, Russell Wilson to a one-year, league minimum deal in addition to sending out a sixth-round draft choice to the Chicago Bears for former first-round pick, Justin Fields.
