Russell Wilson

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said Russell Wilson “has pole position” to open the year as the team’s starting quarterback.

Wilson might be the frontrunner for the job, but Tomlin also added, “When it’s time to compete, Justin [Fields] will be given an opportunity to show his capabilities.” The Steelers’ quarterback situation will be one to watch all offseason and could only get more interesting once the season officially begins. Tomlin and the Steelers are desperate to find a long-term answer at the position, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the team consider a pivot to Fields at the first sign of trouble.
