Back when the Pittsburgh Steelers first acquired QB Russell Wilson and QB Justin Fields, head coach Mike Tomlin said at the NFL Owners Meetings in March that Russell Wilson had “pole position” to start at quarterback. With training camp set to start tomorrow, nothing has changed in that regard, Tomlin told reporters in a press conference Wednesday night.
“Nothing has changed,” Tomlin said about Wilson still being in pole position via the team’s YouTube channel.
He said reps between Wilson and Fields in training camp will be allocated “very carefully.”
It’s not much of a surprise that Wilson remains in position to start.
