Russell Wilson has been named one of the Pittsburgh Steelers' team captains for the 2024 season, just days after winning the starting quarterback job over Justin Fields. Despite only joining the team in March and having faced recent career challenges, Wilson's extensive NFL experience and leadership qualities were key factors in his selection. He joins defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, linebacker T.J. Watt, and safety Miles Killebrew as team captains. Wilson's appointment marks his 12th consecutive season as a team captain, having previously led the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos. The decision underscores his immediate impact and leadership within the team. Wilson will debut as the Steelers' starter in their upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons.
