The Pittsburgh Steelers will have two new faces at the quarterback position in 2024, with the most significant one being Russell Wilson, who is projected to start.
The Steelers are hoping that Wilson can provide better, more consistent play at the position this coming season than Kenny Pickett and others were able to muster up. Should he fail, Pittsburgh has a backup plan in Justin Fields.
On Wednesday, Wilson arrived with the rest of players to Steelers training camp, and as you'd expect it created a buzz.
Wilson pulled up to the building in his Mercedes-Benz truck, rocking a Steelers shirt and sunglasses and what looked to be a playbook under his arm.

The Athletic's Mark Kaboly quipped that Wilson was wearing a Steelers t-shirt that he saw in Walmart and called the new Steelers quarterback a "legend."

As you'd expect, Wilson was immediately swarmed by the media and got lost in a sea of reporters.
