One of the most fascinating parts of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ OTAs is how quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields will coexist. Both quarterbacks know they’re in a competition, not just to start but essentially for their careers. Fields has already made it clear that he’s not preparing to sit on the bench all year.
However, no one is approaching this competition with any animosity, at least outwardly. Justin Fields has previously talked about how he’s modeled his game after Wilson. And now in Pittsburgh, Fields has the opportunity to learn from him. Wilson is the most experienced and accomplished quarterback Fields has been around in the NFL, so it’s a new feeling.
