Terrible Towel Tales: Former Steelers WR Martavis Bryant to visit Commanders

Steelers QB Russell Wilson Drawing Antonio Brown Comparisons | Ari Meyer, All Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is known across the league as a hard worker. From his time at the beginning of his career as a star quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks all the way to his career with the Denver Broncos, a lack of effort has never been called into question.

According to the Athletic’s Mark Kaboly, he has drawn comparisons to a well known Steeler who was known for his work ethic, at the beginning of his career at least. Kaboly says that Wilson has begun receiving comparisons when it comes to work ethic with early Antonio Brown.

Pittsburgh signed Patrick Queen as a free agent from the Baltimore Ravens and he is sure to have a huge impact on the Steelers defense but a tandem of Queen and Wilson might be the most dynamic and athletic group in the league.

Prediction: We expect to see veteran Elandon Roberts get the nod as the starting inside linebacker next to Queen to start the season and the Steelers will bring Wilson along at a steady pace. But by midseason, look for Wilson to be getting the bulk of the reps with Queen and this will allow the Steelers to keep two inside linebackers on the field more down the stretch.
