Ryan Clark Thinks Justin Fields Has ‘Earned’ Right To Be Named Starter

Former Pittsburgh Steelers safety and current NFL analyst Ryan Clark thinks Mike Tomlin should just get it over with and name Justin Fields at the team’s starting quarterback back. Tomlin is waiting to make a decision until Russell Wilson is fully healthy, but Clark told TMZ Sports that Fields has earned the starting job and thinks he should get the title.

“I believe he’s earned it. I believe he’s earned that confidence within the locker room. And I think there’s something that goes with that title. There’s something about knowing who your guy is. I love the fact that every week I knew we were gonna line up with Ben Roethlisberger and if he threw an interception or if it went bad, that he was our guy and we were sticking to him,” Clark said.
