Aaron Rodgers has joined the Steelers on a one-year, $13.6 million contract and is entering his 21st season in the NFL. The team features a diverse group of wide receivers, with D.K. Metcalf as the primary target. Second-year receiver Roman Wilson, drafted in the third round of 2024, had a minimal impact in his rookie season with no catches in limited playtime. Coach Mike Tomlin has outlined a strategic plan for Wilson this preseason to foster his development while Rodgers hopes to help build Wilson's confidence.
Aaron Rodgers emphasized the need for Roman Wilson to trust himself, saying, "He just needs to get out of his own head a bit. He cares so much about whether it’s my approval or he’s doing it right." This highlights the psychological barriers Wilson faces as he aims to perform under pressure.
Mike Tomlin indicated that the Steelers have a specific plan for Roman Wilson during the preseason, focusing on maximizing his potential after a challenging rookie season where he appeared briefly and did not register any catches.
