After 10 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks and 2 with the Denver Broncos, Russell Wilson will turn up for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. ‘Mr. Unlimited’ signed up with them in March 2024 for his minimum fee of $1.2 million. And the veteran has begun his preparations.

A few days back, Russ posted a few photos with his teammates with the caption, “WE’ll see you in Latrobe.” While he was bonding with new teammates, his family member, with whom he started playing football in childhood, took note. His elder brother, Harrison Benjamin Wilson IV, approved the QB’s photo in an IG story that read, “New Era.” But a few hours later, the typical elder brother vibes kicked in.

In one photo, QB was pumping those muscles. But the elder brother flaunted his strength to the younger one with a funny caption in reply to that photo, which read, “I’m still stronger than you, bro. :)” The QB has enjoyed the support of his family in important moments. His parents, especially his father, played a huge part in his aspirations for being a pro athlete.

His father played football while studying at Dartmouth College. He gave wings to the QB by pushing him to take responsibility on the field. However, sadly, he passed away in 2010 before the son got drafted into the NFL (in 2012). On the 10th death anniversary of his father, he posted an emotional message on Instagram that stated, “Dad, I miss you everyday. You were and still are one of my greatest inspirations. You helped instill Perspective, Vision & Belief in me. 3 things necessary for not only success but overcoming. Jesus blessed me with an amazing Dad in you and I will forever cherish my time with you.”

The 35-year-old now is nearing the end of his career. The QB could not get the Broncos to qualify for the playoffs in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. And many are wondering if he can repeat what he did for the Seahawks.

Russell Wilson is confident of his fitness, but the former NFL player thinks otherwise

Former All-Pro Shawne Merriman roasted Wilson on The Pump Fake with Jarrett Bailey Podcast on July 4, 2024, while calling him a great entertainer and showman, he said that the QB’s football skills are poor and he was not fit enough to play a complete season. The legend has planned a 5-year future in the NFL. The Steeler Nation, however, is hoping for better management of the star.

After a mini camp in June 2024, ‘Mr. Unlimited’ exuded confidence and said, “Man, I feel the fountain of youth. I feel revived in every way, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.” Wilson will be at the 20-day practice camp at Saint Vincent College, Latrobe from July 24 to August 14. The fans are eager to see players getting together.

Naysayers can question a player’s abilities. But do you think that the legend will be able to silence his critics in the coming season?
