PITTSBURGH — Seven months after becoming a\u00a0Pittsburgh Steeler<\/a>, quarterback\u00a0Russell Wilson<\/a>\u00a0was selected to be one of four captains by his teammates for the 2024 season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“He’s a strong leader, and he brings veteran experience,” said\u00a0Miles Killebrew<\/a>, who was also elected a team captain along with\u00a0Cameron Heyward<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0T.J. Watt<\/a>. “He’s been doing it at a high level for a long time and I think with that experience [he] kind of calms nerves, and he can lead guys through various situations because he’s seen it. He’s seen a lot, so just a calming presence, I would say.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Before being named a captain, Wilson, who signed a one-year deal with the Steelers in March, was named the team’s starting quarterback over\u00a0Justin Fields<\/a>\u00a0days after the final preseason game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
