Steelers QB Russell Wilson says Justin Fields on the field would ‘strike fear in defenses’

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ primary goal this offseason was to revamp their quarterback lineup. They released all three quarterbacks from last season, including former first-round pick Kenny Pickett, and brought in new players, notably Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

Having two starting quarterbacks with different skill sets could be challenging for the coaches, but the team believes it will create significant problems for opposing defenses.

Wilson addressed the media on Wednesday, asserting that he will be the starting quarterback this season but is open to incorporating Fields into the offensive game plan.

“It would strike fear in defenses,” Wilson said.

Fields, on the other hand, views this as a competition for the starting job and approaches practice with that mindset. He aims to be more than just a gadget player in the offense as he works to secure his next contract.
