Naming the most underrated player on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster heading into 2025 training camp

It's easy to forget a lot of the returning starters on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster when you have an offseason like they did. 

But amidst all the action and talent acquisition, the team quietly told you how they feel about a player on defense going into his second year. 

I believe he's going to announce his presence loudly...

Why LB Payton Wilson is the most underrated player on the Steelers roster

Payton Wilson only started four games last year, yet that was enough for the Steelers to let Elandon Roberts walk in free agency and hand the car keys to Wilson alongside Patrick Queen. 

It's a storyline that, in the middle of what was chaos for the past six months in Pittsburgh, has largely gone unnoticed. But the Steelers are putting a lot of stock into Wilson, and it's for good reason. 

He might have a lingering injury history and is still green in his experience, but he is dynamic in between the hashes. As I said, only four starts under his belt, yet he still recorded nearly 80 tackles to go along with a forced fumble and an interception.
