Some big NFL news broke Sunday night when Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly agreed on a one-year, team-friendly deal that will become official at the start of the new league year on Wednesday.
Wilson spent the past two years with the Denver Broncos after being traded by the Seattle Seahawks, whom he led to a Super Bowl title. He struggled mightily in his first season in Denver but bounced back a bit last year before being benched for the final two games.
The veteran QB apparently will get a fresh start in Pittsburgh, which he seems excited about. Check out this hype video he shared Sunday night:
