Bucky Brooks: Improvisational Aspect Of Justin Fields’ Game A ‘Perfect Fit’ For Steelers’ Identity

Throughout his 18-year Hall of Fame career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger knew how to make magic happen quite often. Whether that was after plays broke down, whether he was playing in the hurry-up, or when the game was on the line late, Roethlisberger found a way to make a play out of structure.

The Steelers hope that have that type of ability again in quarterback Justin Fields. After acquiring Fields from the Chicago Bears Saturday for a conditional sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Steelers have completely reshaped their quarterback room and are leaning back into that improvisational style that can make plays out of structure, fitting that mobile aspect that head coach Mike Tomlin has talked about often over the years.
