It remains to be seen if Russell Wilson has anything left in the tank for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season, but the veteran quarterback is definitely working hard to prove he does.
This week, a photo of a shirtless Wilson flexing after a boxing workout has been going viral on social media. Wilson himself shared it, and the NFL reposted it on its official X/Twitter account.
Wilson, 35, looks to be in prime shape, which is a welcome sign for Pittsburgh fans. His appearance has sparked commentary from around the NFL world.
“Went to the Steel City thinking he the Man of Steel smh,” said a 49ers fan.
“What?? I looked at the picture and thought this was a real boxer this dude Russ tryna throw 90 yards this year,” an Eagles fan added.
“Dude looks washed as hell lol,” a Broncos fan countered.
“Jacked Russy !!!!!!” said Barstool Sports’ Jersey Jerry, who is a Steelers fan.
“He’s got the most jacked dad bod possible lol,” another commenter joked.
Muscle Wilson 💪

Wilson is heading into his first season in Pittsburgh after a failed two-year stint with the Denver Broncos.
Earlier this month, the nine-time Pro Bowler told reporters he was feeling rejuvenated.
“I feel the fountain of youth. I feel revived in every way — mentally, emotionally, spiritually. I feel confident,” Wilson said.
“I think at some point you have to know who you are — as a player, as a man, as a competitor… I don’t doubt it, I just trust it. I felt really good last year playing. I felt really confident in the midst of everything. So I think right now I have all that confidence times 10.”
The Steelers will open the 2024 season against the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 8.
