Roman Wilson's Learning Curve | Pittsburgh Steelers News

Roman Wilson’s shaky practice interception to Asante Samuel Jr. sparked a candid moment with Aaron Rodgers, who called it a repeat mistake—but also a major learning opportunity. Despite the lapse, Rodgers praised Wilson’s stellar camp performance, comparing his upside to DK Metcalf’s and predicting a big role this season. Wilson, expected to be the primary slot receiver, faces stiff competition from rookie Germie Bernard, while Rodgers acknowledged the mental hurdles rookies hit—yet commended Wilson’s relentless work ethic. Meanwhile, Steelers rookies learned they made the roster in quiet, unexpected ways—some via social media or family texts, one even got a cake from his parents. The defense is also scrambling at safety after DeShon Elliott’s IR placement, with Coach Tomlin hinting at shifting combinations; Rayshawn Jenkins likely starts, but undrafted rookie Robert Spears-Jennings, who dazzled in preseason and played both safety spots in college, could be key to filling the depth gap.
