Former NFL Safety Says Steelers Would Be ‘In Same Position’ Had Justin Fields Stayed QB1

When the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired Justin Fields, there was much excitement surrounding his potential. He didn’t pan out with the Chicago Bears, but there were flashes of stardom from him. He did look good with the Steelers, but ultimately, Mike Tomlin felt Russell Wilson gave them a better chance to win. It’s tough to say that was the wrong decision, too. However, former NFL safety Kerry Rhodes believes the Steelers would be no different if Fields kept the starting job.

“I think they’re still in the same position if they have Justin Fields,” Rhodes said recently on his show on FOX Sports Radio.
