In the blink of an eye during the first week of the new league year back in mid-March, the Pittsburgh Steelers reshaped their quarterback room.
Gone were Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph. In came Russell Wilson in free agency and Justin Fields via trade, giving the quarterback room a significant boost from a talent and ceiling standpoint.
Wilson, throughout the offseason, has maintained the “pole position” as the starting quarterback, but in training camp Fields has seen a majority of the QB1 snaps due to Wilson’s calf injury. That has opened the door to a potential quarterback competition, creating some additional excitement for the Black and Gold, at least internally.
