While Russell Wilson has been in “pole position” all offseason when it comes to the starting quarterback job, Mike Tomlin told reporters after the game today that he won’t name a starter between Wilson and Justin Fields until the end of next week. Wilson, despite being the starter all offseason, isn’t questioning Tomlin’s process, though, as in his postgame press conference, he told reporters that Tomlin “knows what he’s doing” when it comes to the quarterback competition.
As far as why he thinks he should win the job, Wilson said he’s just focusing on being a professional and helping the team get better everyday, while talking about the overall talent in the quarterback room.
