The Pittsburgh Steelers took advantage of unusual circumstances to fill their quarterback room this offseason with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Yesterday, head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that Wilson is in “pole position” as the more veteran, proven player. However, he allowed that Fields will have his opportunity to compete at the appropriate time, so what exactly does that mean?
Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco know a thing or two about coach speak, and they weighed in on Tomlin’s remarks about Wilson. Sharpe in particular referenced the pole position comment on their Nightcap podcast yesterday.
