The success of the 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers will come down to how much of an upgrade they truly brought in at quarterback.
Russell Wilson signed with Pittsburgh for the veteran minimum at the start of free agency in March, and the Steelers traded for Justin Fields shortly after.
Star wide receiver George Pickens was asked about Wilson after the final day of training camp, to which he gave his new quarterback a glowing review.
“He’s a very good leader,” Pickens said. “He’s more of a verbal guy than the other Q’s for sure. his enthusiasm is the best thing about him.”

Wilson is coming off a year in which he threw 26 touchdown passes with the Denver Broncos in 15 games. Pickens himself had a nice 2023 season, as well, hauling in 63 receptions for 1,140 yards and five scores. In an offense that is thin at playmaking receivers, Pickens will surely get a lot of looks from No. 3 when the regular season begins in Atlanta.
