If Justin Fields steals a handful of snaps throughout the season, Russell Wilson isn’t going to mind. Speaking to reporters following Wednesday’s practice, Wilson endorsed the idea of the Pittsburgh Steelers creating a specialty package for Fields, utilizing his strengths as one of the game’s most dynamic runners.
Per 93.7 The Fan, Wilson signed off on the idea, believing it “would strike fear in defenses.”
The Steelers haven’t committed to using Fields in such fashion. In fact, they haven’t even officially cemented Wilson’s spot as the team’s Week 1 quarterback. But he’s the clear front-runner and using Fields in specialty situations would guarantee Wilson’s place atop the depth chart.
