Payton Wilson Is ‘Gonna Be Really Good For The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Says Brother And Former Pirates Pitcher Bryse Wilson

In recent years, the Pittsburgh Steelers have placed value in a player’s NFL bloodline in the draft. TJ Watt, Devin Bush, Connor Heyward, and Terrell Edmunds are just a few examples of Steelers’ draft picks with NFL family members. While they may not have followed that trend this year, they did still draft a player with another professional athlete in the family. Drafted by the Steelers at the bottom of the third round this past draft, Payton Wilson is an exceptionally athletic linebacker with a long injury history. His older brother, Bryse Wilson, is a current pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers and may be familiar to some Steelers fans as he used to play for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
