Can the Pittsburgh Steelers compete with Russell Wilson at the helm?
In case you somehow missed it — the Pittsburgh Steelers completely overhauled their quarterback room thus off-season. Former Super Bowl Champion, Russell Wilson signed a one-year, veteran minimum deal with the club following the trade of former first-round pick, Kenny Pickett. The Steelers also traded for 2021 11th overall pick, Justin Fields to presumably backup Wilson in the Steel City.
With star wideout, Diontae Johnson shipped off to Carolina, and two presumptive rookies starting along the offensive line, lets take a look at how the former six-time Super Bowl Champions could line up when week one rolls around.
