Steelers Rally Around Kirby Wilson's Return
Running backs coach Kirby Wilson, coming off suffering life-threatening severe burns at his home last January, was thankful he was back with the Steelers. "It's awesome," Wilson said. "My favorite time of year. The most rewarding camp I've had," he added.
With Rashad Mendenhall still recovering from knee surgery, Wilson is looking forward to the challenges ahead. When asked about the competition in camp for roster spots, Wilson simply replied, "It's heated." I'm sure that pun was unintended.
Welcome back Coach!!!
