Ryan Clark: Russell Wilson Will Start Because His Leadership, Command Are ‘Much Higher’ Than Justin Fields’

Earlier this month, Ryan Clark boldly predicted that Justin Fields would lead the Pittsburgh Steelers into the playoffs. Today, he sang Russell Wilson’s praises. Appearing on ESPN’s First Take Friday, Clark said Wilson will receive the bulk of the starts this year, pointing to his intangible qualities that separate him from Fields.

“I believe it’s going to be Russell Wilson who gets the most starts,” Clark said. “They talked about the way he commanded the offense. Minkah Fitzpatrick talked about discussions that he and Wilson would have after practice…The total leadership and command that he has on the offense right now is much higher than Justin Fields.
