Steelers QB Russell Wilson on what it takes to be great, win in the NFL

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been winning in the NFL for a long time. They even won games despite their quarterback shuffling over the past two seasons and Matt Canada‘s abysmal play-calling.

Fast forward to now, and it’s a new era in Pittsburgh. Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, and Mason Rudolph are out; Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are in.

Though Wilson is entering his 13th season, he’s been with the Steelers only since March. But he knows that his new team has exactly what it takes to be great and win in the NFL.

Our toughness, our mental fortitude… We had six practices in a row. It’s not normal in the National Football League anymore. I think it’s what it takes to be great. It’s what it takes to win.

Will Omar Khan‘s restocking of the quarterback room be the difference in how far Pittsburgh can go in the 2024 postseason? We’re counting on it. This one-and-done routine is getting pretty old.
