Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin never forgets a draft crush, no matter how long the odds of landing him, but in the case of QB Justin Fields, he eventually got his man. According to reports, the Steelers head coach expressed very clearly to Fields that his role in 2024 is to back up Russell Wilson. But that’s a short-term job en route to a bigger role, or so the plan goes, according to Gerry Dulac.
“Fields is being viewed as a potential quarterback for the future with the Steelers, even though he was 10-28 as a starter in three seasons with the Bears”, he wrote yesterday for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
