Steelers QB Russell Wilson Responds to Criticism
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers offense has been under fire throughout the preseason, and maybe no one has gotten hit with more criticism than Russell Wilson. But the starting quarterback isn't worried about it, and in fact, isn't paying attention.
"I never had it to keep me going," Wilson said. "I’ve never been — I don’t know why — I’ve just never been worried about what other people think. I think ultimately I focus on, as I mentioned to you guys — obviously my faith means everything to me. God chose me for this, and He chose me to play this game. I’m one of 32 men in the world that get to do what I do, get to play this game every day.
While Wilson has been under a microscope for most of his career, and had plenty of harsh comments come his way, there's a lot of attention currently on the Steelers preseason."First of all, it’s the preseason," Wilson said. "I think there are always highs, there’s some things that we’ve done really well. There’s some things we need to be better at. That’s a part of the preseason. You learn things and you translate that to the practice field, as well.
