Steelers New Stars Arrive in Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH -- The newest members of the Pittsburgh Steelers are in town, set to introduce themselves as players for the black and gold for the first time.
Both quarterback Russell Wilson and inside linebacker Patrick Queen are in Pittsburgh, arriving just days after inking their deals with the Steelers. The team is set to introduce select free agent signings during a press conference on Friday, and both Wilson and Queen are expected to be in attendance, according to a team source.
Wilson made sure to hit some local spots in Pittsburgh before his introductory press conference. The new quarterback stopped to get a haircut and made his way over to Prospects Basketball practice.
Wilson is going to have to compete with Kenny Pickett for the starting job this season, but no matter what his role on the team is, he immediately becomes one of the biggest stars in the city of Pittsburgh.
As for Queen, sources say he's set to experience driving through the tunnel and into the city for the first time this weekend as well. The newest member of the Steelers' linebacker room has more excitement around him than any other free agent signing, and is expected to bring plenty of electricity to Acrisure Stadium this season - this time for the home team.
The Steelers have also added punter Cameron Johnston, safety DeShon Elliott through free agency and cornerback Donte Jackson through a trade. They re-signed special teamers Miles Killebrew and Christian Kuntz, and defensive tackle Montravius Adams.
It's unknown who exactly will speak at the introductory press conference or when all of the remaining additions will arrive in Pittsburgh.
