Steelers WR Calvin Austin III's Belief In Russell Wilson As A Leader Is Rising: 'Brings The Whole Team Together'
When the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to go out and sign Russell Wilson for the veteran minimum, most of the Steel City knew about the leadership qualities that would come with him. It's still surprising although, to hear about how many great things a lot of the current players have to say about Wilson.
