Welcome to Pittsburgh!!!! That Steelers linebacker core is gonna be filthy against the run. This guy also looks pretty solid in coverage,I can’t wait to see what he can do 🔥
Payton Wilson is an absolute animal, 138 tackles 18.5 tackles for loss 6 sacks, 3 picks, 2 fumble recoveries an a forced fumble, this dude should have went late in the 1st round, he is the smartest defensive player in this class, and one of the smarter linebackers I have seen in a long time, definitely one of the best coverage linebackers in the nation
He played in 23 games last two seasons, Yea he has a multitude of injuries. First, there's the left shoulder injury that was operated on, and apparently was not a great operation, That certainly is a lingering injury. And Wilson is missing a fucking ACL in one of his knees…Despite that, he never misses games and is a tackling machine. Crazy
He actually ended up winning the Chuck Bednarik Award as the best defender in college football and the Butkus Award as top LB. He was also a unanimous All-American selection, first-team All-ACC,and ACC Defensive Player of the Year, not too shabby
I like the pic because of his production, he’s fast & really has good football instincts. He brings speed to the Steelers defense & some physicality, plus the ability to cover guys, paired with Queen, Watt & Highsmith on the outside, solid Af
Noticed the same. Patient on lateral/outside runs... Reminds me of Shazier when he cuts through the line to make tackles, this is a solid pick for the Black gold. HERE WE GO!!!!
Can’t wait to see what this new linebacker room looks like on the field. They have some dawgs playing backer now. That was always a strength when I was younger. They always had a stable rotation of really good linebackers
I agree and disagree at the same time,I agree if he gains weight it probably helps him with his injuries as far as taking and receiving punishment ,but I did disagree as far as it may limit his natural ability to go side line to side line,it’s a give and take
I'm going to argue for Payton Wilson to the Titans until he is drafted...!! We need a Green Dot General. We only have one Starting ILB. And he's not a green dot.. #TitanUp
I would play him at SS in nickel and at SAM in base to cover tight ends. He is undoubtedly an amazing football player, but the lighter LB's just get beat up at Mike by the end of the season and I want this guy on the field in December.
STEELER NATION BABY !!!
LETTSSSS GOOOO
🖤💛🖤💛
Let's go!
yesssirrrrr babyyyyy

Welcome to Pittsburgh!!!! That Steelers linebacker core is gonna be filthy against the run. This guy also looks pretty solid in coverage,I can’t wait to see what he can do 🔥

Love this pick...looks like Shazier out there
I knew I wasn’t trippin

Injury history atleast he shouldve went late 2nd early 3rd
His small for his position that’s why he’s injured so much

Welcome to the Steelers 💛🖤💛
4 ABSOLUTE DOGS TO THE STEELERS
STEELER NATION🗣️
Who let the dogs out...
Ya wrong my guy!! It’s five you forgot the quarterback
Attack angles are perfect.
Noticed the same. Patient on lateral/outside runs... Reminds me of Shazier when he cuts through the line to make tackles, this is a solid pick for the Black gold. HERE WE GO!!!!
The hustle on that 1:00 play
yep and the sideline to sideline range and burst is crazy
KEEP POUNDING PANTHERS! The next Kuechly #59
Luke Kuechly looks better in black and gold #letsweld
Can’t wait to see what this new linebacker room looks like on the field. They have some dawgs playing backer now. That was always a strength when I was younger. They always had a stable rotation of really good linebackers
Payton Wilson, Patrick Queen, inside backers
TJ Watt Alex Highsmith outside backers. I do believe blitz burg is back!!!
Probably the one I'm most excited about
He knows how to read plays perfectly he is good as f***
Welcome to steeler nation baby!!!! Him and queen 🔥🔥🔥
He's a perfect fit for the black and gold!
Welcome to the fam G! Let’s GET IT.
His speed makes him a potential HOF talent. Holy crap.
relax lol
Steelers needed a guy like this ever since all the great Steelers retired. This guy and minkah take the torch
HERE WE GO! ⚫️🟡
Here we go
Dude he is a ball hawk .. my first time seeing his highlights.. wow his awareness is HIGH
Welcome to the Steelers man! Can’t wait to see you play
Welcome too Pittsburgh Payton wilson!!
Steelers !!! Yeah
Dudes got their playbook
Here We Go😈
Here we go Steelers
Best player in this years draft, it’s not even close
Him nakobe dean and Devin white would go hard
Nakobe dean trash😂
Bro hasnt been on the field much but made great tackles and a forced fumble and then got injured again lol
Very excited to get him with the 98th pick! Looks like he can be interior LB and Edge Rusher. Love this pick!
Welcome to Pittsburgh!!
Elite speed, solid tackling, great coverage skills what more could you ask for
Steelers let's go!
So glad we got him
He's a good cover linebacker
WE GOT OUR SHAZIER BACK BABY LETS GOOO!! HERE WE GO!!
Unproven but time will tell
Definitely very excited about this guy donning the black and gold, but I worry a lot of those arm tackles aren't gonna get it done.
This boy looks good
STEELERSSSSSSSSSS🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Wouldn't be surprised at all if this guy ended up in a Seahawk uniform, my boy is a DAWG!!!
Welcome to Pittsburgh Steelers. You will fit right in !
Dude got some speed
WELCOME TO THE BURGHHHH
Any nfl defense can use his energy. Hes a dawg
LETS GOOOOO STEELERS!!!
Steelers nation baby
He needs to hit the weight room
6'4' 240 and needs to hit the weight room? lol
@@sgrunig90he needs to bulk up.
If he bulks up too much he will lose that sideline to sideline speed. He just has a long/lean build.
@@MikenMcExactly. Jack Lambert was the prototype for this form - absolute beast LB
I agree and disagree at the same time,I agree if he gains weight it probably helps him with his injuries as far as taking and receiving punishment ,but I did disagree as far as it may limit his natural ability to go side line to side line,it’s a give and take
These 5 UFDA’S we picked up look good even the quarterback look’s good. The Michigan State linebacker reminds me of Joey Porter
Born to be a Steeler
Athletic and high motor = huge potential.
Declaring it now....payton wilson will be my favorite player since James Harrison. Give him 1 year to show his worth then 2+ is off to to races
Welcome to The Steelers all star
bro is a dawggggg
He will be the steal of the draft and defensive rookie of the year
We need him in Tampa
Welcome to Pittsburgh Steelers!
Mr. Payton Wilson - Pittsburgh Steelers 2024!!
Top 20 pick
He would immediately make an impact on GB’s defense!! I’d be so satisfied with this if we don’t wanna go corner or safety on day 1!
We can only hope
Better not take Cooper tho he’s a Texan
Injury prone nope
This guy would be a 1/2 rounder without the injury history. Definitely a Sean Lee type LB
Fast, has great hands instinct. Could be a great SS.
mini TJ Watt
Burgh
I am not sure why he did not go earlier and why Panthers did not take him dude is a beast.
We just got the Waterboy welcome to the steelers😂😂
Wooow best lb in the draft
Welcome to the Pittsburgh! Sideline to sideline speed. I will call him... the Steel Beam
Welcome to Pittsburgh
Dude is a tank
Got the co-sign from Kuechly, this man needs to be a Panther
Please end up in Philly!!!!
Yes please
Not gonna happen guy, dont need him. Have other more important positions needed to be filled. Probably a cowboy because they need LBs.
@@DennisWilliams-nf2gn wym eagles dont need LB? dean is meh and so is devin white who is on a 1 year rental
No
He can Go to Carolina?
Without the injury concerns he’s an easy first rounder
How many Wilson’s we got on the team?
This guy could play edge, DE, or linebacker would be great in Tampa
As a Steelers fan it’s no wonder we didn’t draft a slot corner. We don’t need one wit this dude on the field
I'm going to argue for Payton Wilson to the Titans until he is drafted...!! We need a Green Dot General. We only have one Starting ILB. And he's not a green dot.. #TitanUp
Gonna see a lot of that against the Pats and Maye
He’s good! Would like to see him beef up a bit though
I think if he put on some solid pounds he could be great. #HereWeGo
Packers need him he a fast lb
I would play him at SS in nickel and at SAM in base to cover tight ends. He is undoubtedly an amazing football player, but the lighter LB's just get beat up at Mike by the end of the season and I want this guy on the field in December.
With him at depth or LB core is gonna be nasty our schedule not gonna be as bad as you think go Steelers
Dallas needs this dude
Fr
💯 to replace vanderesch
Dear Carolina Panthers Draft this Guy,Let Kechly mold him you won't be disappointed the Carolinas gotta Dark Cloud right now
Sorry we gonna need that.. Pittsburgh nation
Future cowboy
No. He's too tough to be a Cowboy. And too smart, too.
I like what I see
Welcome to Carolina
Future Texans
Ravens 2nd round pick.... I feel it just in case Trenton Simpson doesn't work out
Would be good pick. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he go 1st round early 2nd.
Sikee
Hes Bobby Boucher
he already good now wait til he put on that pro weight
Future Detroit Lion
Steelers!!
6-4 240 and 4.4 40 yard dash? 1.8 10 yard split. Athletic freak.
Welcome To Philly 🦅
.... to sack Jalen Hurts !!!
Does this mean Mark Robinson is getting cut?
Doubt it. They still need depth and who knows if and when Cole Holcomb will be ready.
