Say what you want about how things ended between Justin Fields and the Pittsburgh Steelers, but one thing’s certain—Pittsburgh knows how to pick ‘em.
Even when the partnership fizzles out, the players they scout still carry that signature Steel City toughness. And nowhere was that more evident than on Day Two of New York Jets training camp, when Fields trotted back onto the field less than 24 hours after dislocating his toe.
That’s grit and heart. The kind of stuff coaches lose sleep wishing for in a quarterback.
Fields, now the face of the Jets’ offense, didn’t have to be out there.
