🏈 Dan Graziano of ESPN believes the Steelers can build off quarterback Justin Fields.
“They felt like they were doing good work with Justin Fields. And then Russell Wilson got healthy, and they felt like they had to start him in order to give them a chance to win now,” Graziano said on Get Up. “The Steelers are trapped in this perpetual win-now window, right? So you don’t have the time to develop a player like Justin Fields. But he has been in their system for a year now. And they feel like they can build on what he showed in those first six games of the year.”
