Former NFL OT Taylor Lewan made an appearance on Up & Adams hosted by Kay Adams today, and the two discussed the Pittsburgh Steelers’ trade for Justin Fields and how it’ll impact Russell Wilson, whom the Steelers signed last week. While the Steelers plan on having Wilson start and Fields back him up, both Lewan and Adams think it’ll end up being a competition, and Lewan thinks the competition will benefit both quarterbacks.
“Unless it’s in writing, nothing counts in the NFL. The handshake deals do not work in the NFL,” Lewan said about Wilson being told he would start.
