The Pittsburgh Steelers have a new quarterback, but he’s not new to the league.
Russell Wilson has been there and done that multiple times already, and he’s currently closer to the end of his career than to the beginning.
Nonetheless, the 2024 campaign and his new team have him feeling like a teenager again.
When asked about his thoughts and feelings about the upcoming campaign, the former Super Bowl champion claimed that he felt rejuvenated and revived in every way — mentally, emotionally, and spiritually (via Brooke Pryor).

To say that the last couple of years have been tough for Wilson would be a massive understatement.
There were some reports about him trying to get HC Pete Carroll fired, but the Seattle Seahawks clearly took the coach’s side.
Then, when most people hoped and thought he would be in for revenge with the Denver Broncos and their elite defense, he failed to deliver over and over.
Now, with a new team and a supporting cast that should do wonders for his playing style, Wilson is looking forward to proving not only that he wasn’t the problem in Mile High, but also that he still has plenty left in the tank.
Wilson is 35 but he feels 25, and if he’s able to give the Steelers at least a glimpse of the player he used to be in Seattle, the rest of the league could be in trouble.
