Russell Wilson Embodies ‘Winner’s Mindset’ While Revealing What He Thinks Upon Hearing ‘Steelers’

Russell Wilson is wasting no time endearing himself to Pittsburgh fans. When Wilson was signed by the Steelers, he had taken to Instagram to post a picture of him with the caption, “13”. Indicating that he was going to spend his thirteenth season in the NFL with the Steelers. And now, he’s associating another number with the Steelers.

But it seems that Wilson is just going to be a guest in Pittsburgh, rather than a permanent resident. Even before Wilson gets to throw the ball for the first time as a Steeler, a reputed NFL Insider is predicting his departure.

Getting to know Russell Wilson and the new Steelers

The Steelers posted a video on X with the caption, “Get to know the new guys in tahn ⤵️”. While we’re still trying to decode what the last word means, or if it’s a typo, the video itself is winning over Steelers fans. The team’s new QB, Russell Wilson, picked out a chit from the Steelers helmet containing a question.

“First word that comes to mind when you think of the Steelers?” the question read. He immediately said, “6. Championships”. Next, he was also asked which sport he would be playing if not football. And his answer was, “Baseball.” Can Wilson revive the fallen dynasty? And accomplish his ambitious goal of making it the first and only team in NFL history to win seven Super Bowl Championships?

But according to Adam Schefter, the Steelers are already looking to “move on” from Wilson.

Wilson to be a one-season Steeler?

The Russell Wilson saga takes another intriguing turn as the seasoned QB embarks on his journey with the Steelers. This is his third team in just four years. Adding to the Steelers’ QB team is their recent trade for Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears, further shaking up their QB lineup.

As the Steelers gear up for what promises to be an eventful season, the QB dynamics within the team are under intense scrutiny. ESPN’s Adam Schefter weighed in on the situation, stating, “Russell Wilson is the starter going into training camp, and Justin Fields is the backup.” “There is no commitment, obligation, loyalty to any one of these guys. They didn’t pay very much for either one of them. They have the luxury of letting this play out during camp and doing whatever is best for that football team,” he noted. He even suggested that Fields could potentially outshine Wilson, leading to an unexpected shift before the season kicks off.

Wilson’s recent record with the Broncos—a disappointing 11-19, marred by turnovers and sacks—casts a shadow over his prospects with the Steelers. Yet, with minimal financial risk involved and Fields as a potential alternative, the Steelers could experiment and possibly rejuvenate Wilson’s career. All eyes are on Pittsburgh during the offseason as the next chapter of Russell Wilson’s career will begin to unfold.
