The Pittsburgh Steelers have learned the hard way that life after a future Hall-of-Fame quarterback’s retirement can be a sobering road. Three years after Ben Roethlisberger’s final season, Pittsburgh replaced the legend with another declining star in Russell Wilson, who has plenty to prove after two turbulent seasons with the Denver Broncos.The 35-year-old posted a workout video on Saturday, soundtracked by Kendrick Lamar’s “Count Me Out” and complete with a clock emoji, via his social media.
Wilson went 13-21 in Denver, although his stats weren’t astronomically bad. The nine-time Pro Bowler completed 63.3% of his passes while tossing 42 touchdowns, 19 picks, and 219.8 yards per game.While Wilson’s still capable of being a mid-level signal-caller, his recent output pales in comparison to his prolific Seattle Seahawks tenure. The 2012 third-round pick led the team to a Super Bowl XLVIII victory, in addition to leading the league with a 110.1 passer rating in 2015 and 34 passing touchdowns in 2017. Over 10 years with the club, Wilson completed 65% of his passes with 292 touchdowns and 87 interceptions, good for a 3.36 TD-INT
