When the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired star receiver DK Metcalf and handed out a significant contract to the 27-year-old receiver, the vision was seemingly clear that the Steelers were going to upgrade the quarterback position by running it back with Justin Fields or signing Sam Darnold.
That possibility of Fields or Darnold had to have Metcalf excited. In fact, when he did his introductory press conference with the Steelers last week having already signed the contract and agreed to the trade, Metcalf stated he felt like the organization was going to make the right decision regarding who was going to be throwing the football, even after Fields and Darnold agreed to deals elsewhere.
