Russell Wilson Shares 2-Worded Message Following Mike Tomlin’s 3-Year Extension After Admitting Grace for “Greatest Gifts in the World”

Russell Wilson is seemingly gelling up with his new coach, Mike Tomlin. After his Denver Broncos exit in March, followed by an emotional note expressing his excitement about “what’s next,” the 35-year-old seems all set for the 2024 showdown. And with him, the Pittsburgh Steelers camp, and their newly extended coach, Mike Tomlin seem ready.

Tomlin, the longest-tenured coach in the NFL currently, has signed an updated contract with Pittsburgh that keeps him with the Steel City until the 2027 season. The coach agreed to a three-year extension and will start his 18th season this time with the team. With his extension, it’s obvious that this news has brought joy to the team, especially the newly appointed QB.

Russell Wilson commented on the NFL’s Mike Tomlin post!

The NFL Network group recently shared an Instagram post on Mike Tomlin’s contract extension. They dropped a photo of the coach, with an “Alert” text and Steelers’ logo printed beside it. The photo was also overlaid by text – “Steelers extending Mike Tomlin.” Along with this post, the outlet further wrote a caption informing the audience that “Steelers sign head coach Mike Tomlin to a 3-year contract extension.”

This news has brought immense happiness to the Steelers’ nation, and their new quarterback didn’t waste time sharing his two-word message. In the comment section, Russell Wilson wrote, “The Best” with raising hands emoji. This comment perfectly sums up how Wilson and the entire team respect Tomlin, and is happy to play for him, and under him. He also shared an IG story of Tomlin’s extension news, tagging him, along with writing another two-word message: “Legend. Icon.”

However, that’s not all, Wilson earlier too mentioned that he got a big gift in the form of Tomlin as his coach. Expressing his admiration for the coach, the QB had some special remarks to make.

Mike Tomlin and Russell Wilson share mutual respect!

Russell Wilson has now turned the page to the Steelers, closing the chapter of the Broncos. As he entered a one-year, $1.21 million deal with the franchise, he seemed quite happy and excited to play with Mike Tomlin. During an interview earlier, Wilson expressed his happiness: “To play 13 years in the NFL has been a dream come true. To be able to play for Mike Tomlin; to stand side by side with him and try to accomplish all the goals that I want to accomplish with the Steelers organization, and what that represents for the NFL, is one of the greatest gifts in the world.”

In April at ESPN’s NFL Draft coverage, Tomlin seemed to share a similar respect for the QB, as he stated, “Russell is in pole position. His collective body of work merits that. But we’re really excited to have Justin as well. During the course of team development, training camp and preseason he’ll be given the opportunity to compete.”

In a blend of old learnings and new additions, the Steelers appear eager to make a stamp of their excellence in the upcoming season. How do you think the duo of Wilson and Tomlin with the blend of Justin Fields in the mix will pave out? Let us know your thoughts below!
