Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Vince Williams has publicly criticized current linebacker Patrick Queen for what he perceives as a lack of effort during a recent game against the Cleveland Browns. Williams pointed out that Queen seems to be making “business decisions” instead of playing aggressively, implying that he’s being cautious as this could be his final year with the Steelers. He addressed this on social media, stating that Queen’s performance has been underwhelming.
Williams highlighted a specific play where Queen appeared hesitant to tackle Browns running back Quinshon Judkins, which resulted in a touchdown drive for the Browns. There were also criticisms regarding Queen’s effort during a previous touchdown run by Jaleel McLaughlin.
As Queen approaches the end of his three-year contract with the Steelers, his future remains uncertain. Although he was linked to trade rumors this offseason, he is currently focused on improving his performance, stating that he has a good salary and is indifferent to potential extensions. Last season, he recorded 126 total tackles, making him one of the leading players on the team.
