The Pittsburgh Steelers' newest inside linebacker was given a legendary comparison.
PITTSBURGH -- Payton Wilson fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third-round as a lottery ticket. His talent was undeniable but health concerns forced some teams to pass on the fast, experienced linebacker. Now, the talents that made him such a steal are shining as he participates in his first practices as an NFL player.
"My background, spent a lot of time with Bobby Wagner. Bobby played fast like that, so seeing that speed, it's really exciting because you know there's going to be some plays that only his speed can make," Curry said. "So I'm excited. I'm looking forward to those opportunities for him."
