This will be his 12th consecutive campaign with a "C" on his jersey, including his time with Seattle and Denver.
Players also voted for defensive tackle Cameron Heyward and linebacker T.J. Watt on defense and safety Miles Killebrew on special teams, the team announced Monday.
Wilson, 35, signed with the Steelers on March 11 after being released by the Broncos. He held off competition from Justin Fields in the preseason and will start Sunday's season opener at Atlanta.
A nine-time Pro Bowl selection and a Super Bowl winner to conclude the 2013 season, Wilson owns a 115-72-1 record as a starter and has passed for 43,653 yards and 334 touchdowns in 188 starts for the Seahawks (2012-21) and Broncos (2022-23).
Heyward is a captain for the 10th straight season in Pittsburgh. It's the fourth such honor for Watt and the third for Killebrew.
