Justin Fields has exceeded expectations with the Pittsburgh Steelers through three weeks of the season. He was pushed into the starting role at the last minute, and he’s continued to seize that opportunity. His passing ability has looked much improved, and he’s had some absolutely gorgeous deep shots to George Pickens. However, Pickens still believes there’s more to unlock between him and Fields, especially when compared to Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown.
“They were here together for a long time,” Pickens said Wednesday of Roethlisberger and Brown via Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “[Fields] just got here, I’ve been here three years, so I think it’s a work in progress.
