PITTSBURGH -- With his right foot forward, Justin Fields stood in the shotgun and readied to receive the snap on the third play of the Steelers' first preseason game.
As he corralled the ball from center Nate Herbig, Fields flipped his stance, dropping back with his right foot and leading with his left as he cocked his right arm to throw.
Within seconds, he locked in on wide receiver George Pickens, who had been split out wide to his left, and delivered a 15-yard dart.
It was the kind of play the Steelers' brass hoped to see since trading a conditional sixth-round pick to the Chicago Bears in exchange for the man the Bears once tabbed as the future of their franchise.
