The Pittsburgh Steelers brought in both quarterback Russell Wilson and quarterback Justin Fields this offseason, and while Wilson is in pole position to start, that doesn’t mean Fields won’t get an opportunity. One thing that could give Fields an advantage is his legs, as he’s run for 1,800 yards over the last two seasons, including 1,143 yards in 2022. ESPN analyst Mina Kimes thinks that if Arthur Smith embraces designed quarterback runs, then Fields could have a leg up over Wilson and give the Steelers a talented rushing attack.
“I think, as I said, it should be a competition, and as far as which quarterback is better and who will win that competition, for me, a big factor in that decision will come down to whether Arthur Smith is really willing to lean into the designed quarterback run game.
