Justin Fields had an interesting 2024. He failed to develop into a franchise quarterback with the Chicago Bears, so they traded him to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fields competed with Russell Wilson for the starting job, getting a ton of work because of an injury to the veteran quarterback. He started the first six games of the year, looking capable. Then, the Steelers surprised many people by giving the starting job to Wilson once he was healthy. Fields handled that situation like a pro, and according to Pete Prisco, people in the NFL took notice of that.

“I think he’s intriguing,” Prisco said Wednesday on CBS Sports HQ.
