The Pittsburgh Steelers could still use Justin Fields talents in a different role.
PITTSBURGH -- When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded for Justin Fields, he was already cemented as the backup to presumed starter Russell Wilson and that arrangement doesn't appear to be bound for any kind of change anytime soon. But that doesn't mean the coaching staff has to let his talent completely waste away on the bench for a year.
“Justin Fields obviously has an incredible skill set and I’m excited to see how Pittsburgh uses him this year,”“I would actually envision a situation where it’s almost like a Taysom Hill-type package like we had in New Orleans. Russell Wilson is your starting quarterback, Justin Fields is getting seven to 10 snaps a game. How problematic would that be for a defense?"
Brees even believes this could have been a better long-term development plan for Fields when he was with the Chicago Bears and thinks the Steelers could get back to basics as they try to keep their new young quarterback preserved for the future.
