Viral video of Steelers LB Payton Wilson should quiet his critics

Payton Wilson fell in the draft for injury concerns that don’t seem to actually exist.

When we look back at the 2024 NFL draft in say, three years, here is a bold prediction. NFL draft writers and pundits are going to wonder how Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Payton Wilson fell all the way to the end of the third round.

So we will be sure to remind them why. Because teams were paranoid about a potential problem with Wilson’s knee. An issue that hadn’t surfaced since high school and showed no ill effects as he absolutely dominated last season at North Carolina State.

But if that isn’t enough to convince everyone that all the worrying was for nothing and the Steelers were brilliant for taking a chance, just look at the video below.

Wilson is a freakish athlete but even more than that, a smart football player. He’s learned how to maximize his physical gifts rather than simply rely on them which makes him even more dangerous.

During his time at North Carolina State, Wilson did it all, and not only because he was the better athlete. But if you have any doubt left that there are any injury concerns with him, let this video put your mind at ease.

Vikings reserve WR Thayer Thomas announces football camp

Minnesota Vikings reserve WR Thayer Thomas has announced a developmental football camp aimed at grades 6-12 at his hometown high school.

From both a fan and media standpoint, one of the most overlooked aspects of being an NFL player is the good the players do in their communities and how much they can give back. That’s especially true of back-of-the-roster guys like Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Thayer Thomas.

While Thomas may not be likely to make the Vikings roster, that won’t stop him from doing everything he can on the field to make the squad. It will also not stop him from giving back to the communities that have given him this opportunity. It’s with that in mind that Thomas announced his first annual “Thayer Thomas Football Camp.”

The camp is designed to be a developmental camp, giving prospective athletes in the area a chance at some skills training, mentorship, and a chance to show what they can do. It will be held June 22nd and 23rd at Heritage High School—Thayer’s former school—in Wake Forest, NC.

While playing for Heritage, Thomas amassed 74 receptions for 695 yards and seven touchdowns before graduating. After graduation, Thayer walked on at North Carolina State, where he finished as the school’s second all-time leader in receptions and receiving touchdowns and fifth all-time in receiving yards.

The two-day camp is $140 and is open to kids in grades 6-12. All proceeds from the camp will go towards the Wolf of Walk-Ons Scholarship Fund.
