The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason has been marked by several significant developments, including the team’s decision to trade for quarterback Russell Wilson. Wilson, who spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Seattle Seahawks, has been the subject of much speculation and attention since joining the Steelers.
However, in a recent interview, Wilson made it clear that he is focused on his new team and is not dwelling on his past with the Seahawks or his former coach, Pete Carroll.
“I’m focused on the Steelers,” Wilson said. “I’m not thinking about Pete Carroll or the Seahawks. My focus is on my new team and helping us win games.”
Wilson’s comments are likely to be music to the ears of Steelers fans, who are eager to see their team return to the playoffs after a disappointing 2024 season. The Steelers have made several significant moves this offseason, including the trade for Wilson and the signing of free agent wide receiver, Allen Robinson.
While Wilson’s arrival has generated a lot of excitement in Pittsburgh, there are still many questions about how he will fit in with the Steelers. Wilson has a reputation for being a mobile quarterback who is capable of making plays with his legs, but he has also struggled with injuries in the past.
Despite these concerns, Wilson is confident that he can help the Steelers win games and make a deep playoff run.
“I’m excited to be here in Pittsburgh and to be a part of this team,” Wilson said. “I think we have a lot of talent and a lot of potential, and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do on the field.”
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has also expressed his enthusiasm for Wilson’s arrival, praising the quarterback’s work ethic and leadership abilities.
“Russell is a highly motivated and highly competitive player,” Tomlin said. “He’s a natural leader who has a strong work ethic and a passion for the game. We’re excited to have him on our team and to see what he can do on the field.”
As the Steelers prepare for the 2025 season, Wilson’s focus on the present and his commitment to his new team are likely to be key factors in the team’s success.
