‘Force Him To Have To Play Quarterback:’ CB Brandin Echols Wants Justin Fields To Win With His Arm, Not Legs

For new Pittsburgh Steelers CB Brandin Echols, if the defense can keep Justin Fields from winning with his legs, the Steelers have a good chance at beginning the season on a high note. He told reporters following practice Wednesday that daring Fields to win through conventional means is the game plan.

“His legs are probably one of his most dominant traits,” Echols said via The Trib’s Chris Adamski. “We just try to eliminate that and force him to have to play quarterback. If we do that, I think we should be good.”
