Steelers' Patrick Queen Completing Linebacker Unit? | Russell Wilson Facilitates a Flexible Offense

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers added Patrick Queen this offseason to complete their linebacker unit, and he's starting to do that. Mike Tomlin discussed Queen in his Tuesday press conference and how he's grown into the Steelers' defense. Christopher Carter thinks he could be the glue that puts the unit together to make an elite defense. 

Also, Chris asked Tomlin about how Russell Wilson has lived up to what he envisioned when he was named a starter. Chris thinks Wilson could be the right facilitator to maximize the Steelers' offensive output with George Pickens, Mike Williams, Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren, Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington, despite shortsighted criticism from Dominique Foxworth at ESPN.
