Russell Wilson Orchestrates Workout with Slew of Steelers Ahead of Camp
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson orchestrated a last-minute workout session with a slew of teammates before they depart to Latrobe for training camp next week. Wilson posted a photo with his teammates on X Thursday afternoon at a field in seemingly Southern California, judging by the palm trees and where Wilson normally trains. Wilson captioned the post, “WE’ll see you in Latrobe.”
Wide receivers Roman Wilson, Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin III, Marquez Callaway, tight end Connor Heyward and quarterbacks Justin Fields, Kyle Allen and John Rhys Plumlee were in the photo with Russell Wilson.

Wilson recently trained with Steelers wide receivers Quez Watkins and Scotty Miller at UCLA. In addition, Wilson’s former teammate in Seattle wide receiver DK Metcalf was also at the workout session.
Wilson and Metcalf trained together at UCLA a few weeks ago. Steelers running back Najee Harris also recently attended workouts with Wilson in Southern California.
Wilson has been nothing but a leader since arriving to Pittsburgh in March. He also orchestrated a workout with wide receivers Calvin Austin III and Van Jefferson and tight end Pat Freiermuth in San Diego earlier this offseason.
Unless something unforeseen happens, Wilson will be the starting quarterback in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons. It’s Wilson’s job to lose.
“I’m really pleased with what I heard coming (out) of there with Russ,” Jeremiah said on the Rich Eisen Show. “I know there’s been a lot of talk with him and [Justin] Fields. It’s Russell Wilson’s gig. Everything I’ve been told, they’ve been impressed with how he’s thrown. Throwing with anticipation.”
Fields raved about Wilson’s leadership at OTAs. It’s been a great experience for him to learn from a nine-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion.
“It’s been great just learning from him every day,” he said. “Just how detailed he is with everything. Just how he works. Everything he does. The way he acts around his teammates. He’s been great. A great teammate to me. A great mentor to me so it is awesome to have a guy like Russell in the room. You get to learn from him and kind of pick his brain on some stuff.”
The Steelers will report to Saint Vincent College on Wednesday, July 24.
