Pretty much since he signed, all reports have suggested Russell Wilson will be the Week 1 starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers. That much became abundantly clear when former first-round QB Kenny Pickett requested a trade out of town just days later. And if that wasn’t evidence enough, Justin Fields was reportedly told that he would be the backup to Wilson when he was traded.
But not everyone shares the opinion that the quarterback depth chart should be clear cut. NFL Network’s Steve Wyche thinks Fields has a chance to seriously compete.
“This is gonna be one of those teams to watch early on just to see how it figures out,” Wyche said in an episode of The NFL Report posted on YouTube.
