## Resource

Can Payton Wilson become the dependable linebacker the Steelers need—or will they be forced to rebuild again? Drafted for his elite athleticism, Wilson showed flashes with 126 tackles last season, but only started four games, raising questions about his readiness. With a strong pass rush but a shaky middle, the Steelers desperately need him to step up in Year 3. If he delivers, he’ll add speed and range to a critical defensive gap. If not, the defense could be left scrambling once more. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
