The Steelers selected NC State LB Payton Wilson at #98 overall in this year's draft. Wilson was the 2023 Chuck Bednarik Award Winner, awarded annually to the best defensive player in college football. Many had Wilson as their #1 LB in the draft class and he was once in conversations to be a first round pick, but medical concerns caused him to fall into the 3rd round. He is an athletic freak who ran a 4.43 40 yard dash at the combine while standing 6'4 235lbs. Lots of potential if healthy. #Steelers
Id rather have 3 or 4 great years with him than a 5-7 years of okay play from someone else. This dude is a beast! TJ on the edge, JPJ on corner, mink floating around back there, and now wilson hanging around the middle. Im super excited
Been a fan of yours for years man, always glad when you upload, thank you for all the elite highlights over the years man, genuinely i really appreciate it.
@@SteelerNationHighlights no problem man, i hope you keep up the great work. Every year after the draft it’s your vids i watch first, and its your vids i send to my fam to show them our new guys. So, one more time, thank you for the great content man.
How da fuk is he 6’4”” with that speed. He’s roughly 15lbs lighter than Watt, but the same height and runs a low 4.4 with no ACL in the one knee. WATT?!?
He’s smooth. I’ll have to go back for time stamp but he literally dropped into coverage, took away two reads and the check down all on the way to the quarterback on a scramble. That was user madden stuff. Seriously….I see why Keuchly publicly endorsed him. He’s the real deal. 2:55 Could’ve been a spy now that I look back at it but still he took time to stay in his zone n be mindful and took away the short dump off n bee lined it to the qb. That’s still very elite stuff.
God, I hope this kid stays healthy!! Absolute game wrecker!! He's such a disrupter!! Just like TJ Watt!!! Absolute steal if he can stay healthy!!! Special player!!!
He's a TJ Watt clone! He came out of the same mold! Imagine TJ Watt 2! Now at inside and outside LBs! God I hope this man stays healthy! If he does, lookout!!! He's gonna be amazing Defensive rookie of the year if he stays healthy!! He's an absolute monster!!!
Tomlin : I need the ball 🏈 Wilson : I’ll get you the ball 🏈 Wilson : Mama said foosball 🏈 is the devil 👿 Tomlin : What Mama doesn’t know, won’t hurt her
Lingering shoulder injury, missing an ACL in one of his knees, still doesn’t miss games, his production is ridiculous, Steelers added an animal, paired with Queen, Watt & Highsmith on the outside? Wtf that’s frightening gang
Is it just me or is anyone else unimpressed by all of these highlights, don’t watch college football but am a huge Steeler fan. If this is the best highlights from the best college linebacker then now I see why the position is lacking so heavily nowadays fr.
This is just a little over 3 minutes video, there’s at least a 20 minute video of his highlights because I’ve seen it. He’s all over the field making plays

Offense needa
Would absolutely love a Donte Jackson highlight video. I love your videos. Keep up the great work. I also love the beats
Nc state fan and this was the absolute value pick of yhe draft. He never stops or quits and lays the lumber. Perfect steeler
This guy is the red shell from Mario cart. Can’t escape that mfer 😂
well said 😂😂😂😂
A Steeler if i ever seen one ! He's that dude. Can't wait to watch him play for us Steeler Nation . Got that dawg in him! ☝️🤟👊💪💯
💯🔥 I can't wait either definitely a Steeler!!!!
Payton Wilson, Patrick Queen, TJ Watt, and Minkah Fitzpatrick just to name a few...defense is legitimately scary at this point.
But never an offense man.
@@isaacmadrigaljr3333 feel like our offense will be middle of the pack. Not enough to get deep into playoffs
Wilson and Queen !!! Lamar we're coming!!! GO STEELERS!!
He’s a hit and good tackler and the Steelers need that now stay healthy
Did we just get the real Bobby booshae 😅😅😅💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
🎉boy that's him
It's Bobby Boucher. Not what you said.
@@honcho714😂😂😂😂let em live bro
He does love his momma!
No cap 😂
Aww yeah he got that swag. The Nation gonna love this dude.
How did this young man last so long you love to have someone like this on any team non stop motor no quit God bless him
Wolfpack fan and Steelers fan. so Happy he went to the Steelers. hes a Dawg
Id rather have 3 or 4 great years with him than a 5-7 years of okay play from someone else. This dude is a beast! TJ on the edge, JPJ on corner, mink floating around back there, and now wilson hanging around the middle. Im super excited
Don’t forget Queen, Heyward, & Benton 🥶
@@abouttogetexclusive9367 Don’t forget Highsmith, Roberts, and Holcomb
Don’t forget Carnell Lake and Lethon Flowers
The play at 2:19 where he hustle is what I like
Damn right. His motor never stops.
This kid is special!! He reminds me of TJ Watt,how he moves and plays! He has that it factor! Imagine a TJ Watt clone as an inside LB! WOW!!

I appreciate it!! 🙌🏼

Can't wait to get the jersey my guy!!! Play like your hair on 🔥!!! Classic 🖤💛💪
The way he goes from 0-60 is incredible, especially at his size
How da fuk is he 6’4”” with that speed. He’s roughly 15lbs lighter than Watt, but the same height and runs a low 4.4 with no ACL in the one knee.
WATT?!?
Unreal speed we finally have our Shazier replacement
Woah woah woah !!!
Just need Troy Polamalu next year.
he could be better. Sharper was more potential than production, because of injuries. He did have a few great games, though.
*Shazier
YES 100% but NOBODY will ever replace Shazier
i was here before all the superbowls. goat
He’s smooth. I’ll have to go back for time stamp but he literally dropped into coverage, took away two reads and the check down all on the way to the quarterback on a scramble. That was user madden stuff. Seriously….I see why Keuchly publicly endorsed him. He’s the real deal.
2:55

Browns fan here, yeah Steelers is defense is going to be top 3 this upcoming season
the guy never gives up on the play.
Future all pro for years. Wish him nothing but health
This guy is going to be a STUD‼️
Man, this Dude gonna be a nightmare for offenses 🫣
God, I hope this kid stays healthy!! Absolute game wrecker!! He's such a disrupter!! Just like TJ Watt!!! Absolute steal if he can stay healthy!!! Special player!!!
Here we go
This dude will go down as one of our best picks ever. Hard to beat brown in the 6th , but could be close
I was 100% sure Packers drafted him instead of Hopper. Steelers defense looks loaded this year
Bru fast asf
Giving me those Luke Kuechly vibes
OMG A DART WITH GREAT HANDS...HES GONNA BE FUN TO WATCH
I really don't see a pro comp to him, he is definitely unique 💯
A nastier Luke Kuechly
But overall his own man
he’s something special, how in the world did we manage to get him
he reminds me of when tj watt was drafted, it was no doubt he is gonna change the whole atmosphere
The comp is Ryan Shazier
He's a TJ Watt clone! He came out of the same mold! Imagine TJ Watt 2! Now at inside and outside LBs! God I hope this man stays healthy! If he does, lookout!!! He's gonna be amazing Defensive rookie of the year if he stays healthy!! He's an absolute monster!!!
Shazier-ish speed and reaction 😮
He plays with his hair on fire for sure 🔥
Bro is about to make the probowl as a 3rd round pick 😭😭😭😭
Not saying he is ray lewis but his college tape screams ray lewis. Way he plays. It's crazy
I see a little of Jack Lambert in him
Actually a good point I'd say
Steelers got the biggest steal
Payton Wilson is the next Hines Ward _(in terms of playing without an ACL)_
Which makes him untouchable
Here We Go! #Steelers
Payton Kuechly 💪🏼
Hopefully he stays healthy 🤞 because we seem to have missed on a lot of playmakers for lineman and defense
Giving me Troy vibes at linebacker
please keep up with your vids, I love them so much. LETS GO STEELER NATION!
Thanks man!
Where you been hiding man. They said you were in jail.
Love the video.
Appreciate it bro! 🙏🏼
Tomlin : I need the ball 🏈
Wilson : I’ll get you the ball 🏈
Wilson : Mama said foosball 🏈 is the devil 👿
Tomlin : What Mama doesn’t know, won’t hurt her
Lingering shoulder injury, missing an ACL in one of his knees, still doesn’t miss games, his production is ridiculous, Steelers added an animal, paired with Queen, Watt & Highsmith on the outside? Wtf that’s frightening gang
Don't forget Herbig
Herbig is nuts! I hoe other teams forget about him.
This guy is a monster
3 Guys named Wilson will do great things this year!
AND, theyre playing with a Wilson football, so the steel curtain is about to be lit
It be great to highlight the players❤
Just look for the fast white boy😂
Gatorade is better:
H20:
Gaaaatoradddeee:
Heeeerrrrrrreeeeerreeeee! Sacked by Payton Wilson for the 10th time in the first quarter 😵💫
Imagine being a QB and you somehow run away from Watt, Highsmith, and Queen only to be tackled by this guy when you least expect it
Great pick. If he plays with that tummy out in Pittsburgh he might get a little cold.
The 2nd coming of Jack Ham🔥🔥🔥
Jack Lambert means Jack Ham
@@darkshinethakid4463 what
He can Polly play fs or ss as well
WELCOME TO THE PAYTON WILSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kids got crazy closing speed
Giving me Ryan Shazier vibes 🥲
Queen, Wilson, watt, highsmith 😂😂 unbelievable
🤣💪
We really just drafted a TJ Watt/Ryan Shazier hybrid in the bottom of the 3rd round lol
Said this right when we drafted him that closing speed and how he plays reminds me alot of tj
When they thank god for trials and tribulations. 😅🎉 -from a Denver fan
He looks like our new off ball Tj Watt frfr
He will be a full time starter by week 5
He reminds me of Shazier
He gets in that backfield like a safety I remember once upon a time 🤔🤔
If you buy 2 Wilson jerseys you’ll get the 3rd Wilson jersey for free
I hope 🤞🏾 can stay healthy. Because he’s gonna be a Dog 🐕 and a playmaker.
Modern version of Lambert.
The defense is long athletic.
TJ watt got a new homie.
Easy to do when you ain't playin nobody..
Fk I miss Shazier
called rugby 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 HE BARELY GOT DRAFTED 😂😂😂😂😂
Wish the Niners got him. Steelers got a got a STEAL!
Think Edgerrin Cooper is better personally.
😤☝️💪👏
23 mph?!

We have the best ACL doctor Freddie Fu
Dr. Fu passed away in 2021.
So sorry To Dr.Fu family
No ACL's. Cool. Then no more kneepads. Lmao
Hines Ward, didn’t have an ACL
Why he look like jack HAM!!!
Easily a first ballot HoFer
Lb de cristal
If Luke keilley likes him we got a dog.
Thanks for being a cry baby and wanting to be traded Kenny 😂
Tik Tok rizz party ahh song
Nah but actually amazing pickup but what happens to Holcomb now?
I don’t know about the next Bobby Bouche, but I think maybe the next Shazier hopefully
