Quarterback Russell Wilson is proving plenty of people wrong at the moment.
The former Super Bowl champion has won each of his three starts with the Steelers and has the team well-positioned for a possible deep playoff run.
One of those aforementioned people that Wilson is proving wrong is Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd.
“We’ve got to be honest about it. I was wrong, he’s playing great…His story is redeemable,” Cowherd said Wednesday on The Herd.

After leaving the Seattle Seahawks where he was a magician for a decade, Wilson ran into a wall with the Denver Broncos.
There wasn’t much success and head coach Sean Payton was seemingly not the biggest fan of his.
Now, the nine-time Pro-Bowler has found another home in Pittsburgh.
The Steelers are 7-2 and leading the AFC North.
Wilson has posted a passer rating of 105.9 so far and has recorded seven total touchdowns to just one interception.
The difference between now and his time with Denver is that he has a head coach who believes in him and an elite defense.
Mike Tomlin is a future Hall of Fame coach who knows how to get the most out of his team.
There is a reason why he has never had a losing season as the head coach of the Steelers.
With the way Wilson is playing, it feels like the Steelers are going to have more than just a winning record this season.
The Steelers will host the arch-rival Baltimore Ravens this Sunday afternoon in a matchup of seven-win teams.
