One of the NFL’s most intriguing quarterback rooms is the one the Pittsburgh Steelers have constructed.

With Russell Wilson joining the team and Justin Fields, a former first-round choice, acquired, the Steelers have opened up a lot of options for the starting quarterback and different strategy options when both are on the field at once.
How Justin Fields and Russell Wilson Could Be Used by the Pittsburgh Steelers
Wilson believes Fields has a franchise quarterbacking background, but the veteran is looking forward to playing alongside Fields.
Wilson said to Tim Benz of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Wednesday, “Justin is undoubtedly one of the most talented guys in the NFL.” You are aware of all of his abilities. The quarterback that he is, the player. He is animated. Our victory is everything. That is the main objective. Undoubtedly, it would frighten certain people who have strong defenses.
There’s a real sense of excitement around the league about the potential, regardless of whether new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is capable of maximizing Fields and Wilson’s skill sets.
The CEO recently told me, “Just imagine what Fields could do in short-yardage situations.” Justin has the potential to be very useful close to the goal line. Furthermore, with Fields at quarterback, the running game might be opened up much more if Russ isn’t playing well.
