“The Steelers offense feels like it’s coming from the 1850s, not even the 1950s,” Wilson said during a TV appearance on CBS Sports Network. “And what you get from Michael Penix Jr. is a guy who can throw the deep ball. And guess what Diontae Johnson and George Pickens like to do? Run deep.
“Now, who knows what this roster looks like offensively a year from now. There’s so much going on in the locker, but Michael Penix Jr. is special. He’s one of the best, if not the best, deep-ball thrower in college football.” In sharing his TV appearance on X (formerly Twitter), Wilson furthered his argument in the post’s caption.
“The Steelers traded up to No. 10 for LB Devin Bush back in 2019,” Wilson wrote. “They should absolutely consider trading up at least that high for a QB in April. They need to quit leaning into the mistakes — just admit them and move on. “Then get a legit OC (turns out, that’s important too!).”
