Rodgers Praises Wilson Amidst Steelers Uncertainty

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has consistently praised Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson throughout the summer, reiterating his strong support on September 3, 2026. Rodgers stated he is "really proud" of Wilson's development leading into the 2026 season, emphasizing the young receiver's dynamic speed and commitment to improvement.

Rodgers noted Wilson's increased smoothness and dedication to asking questions, believing he is "made of the right stuff." However, Wilson's on-field production has been limited, with 12 catches for 166 yards in 14 NFL games, and he was a healthy scratch for much of December last season.

Despite Rodgers' encouragement, Wilson recently committed a repeat mistake during practice, an "under route" where he needed to "keep coming." Rodgers views this as a learning experience, hoping it prevents future errors, especially after similar incidents were observed in preseason games. While Wilson is expected to compete for a WR3 role, he must demonstrate improved performance in actual games to fulfill his potential.
