Jones-Drew: Steelers ‘Put Themselves In Position’ To Contend For AFC North Title With Russell Wilson Signing

Former NFL running back and current analyst Maurice Jones-Drew was a guest on The Dan Patrick Show. During that interview, Jones-Drew was asked whether he thought the Steelers or Falcons put themselves in a better position with their quarterback additions. The Steelers reportedly signed Russell Wilson, while the Falcons added Kirk Cousins. Although Jones-Drew thinks Atlanta is better because Cousins is an easy fit into their system and Pittsburgh still has to add, he said Wilson elevates the Steelers to AFC North contenders.

“Pittsburgh is gonna have to draft another receiver, so to me, that’s gonna be a big deal to get another receiver obviously to help out because you just lost Diontae Johnson who was a really good player,” Jones-Drew said.
