Russell Wilson is the new quarterback of the New York Giants, but during a special appearance on 7PM in Brooklyn, the veteran spoke about his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers, which only lasted one season.
âPittsburgh was a good place for me. It really helped rejuvenate me in every way just because of the locker room there. It was just cool to be around that. The experience of the history of Pittsburgh.â
Wilson was given the opportunity to be the starter over Justin Fields, and everything seemed spectacular with a 10-3 record. However, five straight losses ended the dream. Now, the Steelers have decided to move on and pursue Aaron Rodgers.
What did Russell Wilson say about Mike Tomlin?
Despite Mike Tomlin choosing not to extend Russell Wilsonâs contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the quarterback spoke highly of his former head coach and admitted that he is one of the best in the NFL.
âObviously Coach Tomlin too as well, who he is as a man. A guy from Virginia whoâs been successful. It was really unique to be around his mentality. I think thereâs three things about Mike Tomlin thatâs special. His obsession, his work ethic. The second thing is his ability to connect to players. Itâs remarkable. The thing thatâs really unique about him is the ability to embrace the noise. The ability to embrace the obstacles and all that. He stares it right in the face and he doesnât run from it. Heâs one of the all-time great coaches. A guy thatâs going to be in the Hall of Fame because of what heâs been able to do.â
