Entering the 2024 season with a brand-new quarterback room, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Russell Wilson will have the \"pole position,\" but 2021 first-round pick Justin Fields will \"have the opportunity to compete\" when the time is right.
\"We\'ve been very transparent about the pecking order, at least to start,\" Tomlin said Sunday from the NFL\'s league meetings, addressing the team\'s free agency additions for the first time. \"I just think that provides clarity for all parties involved. Russell is a veteran, man. He\'s got a proven process of readiness. He\'s been in this league a long time. He\'s capable of rallying troops, receivers, tight ends, running backs, et cetera. He\'s just got a lot of experience in terms of what it takes to be the guy over the course of a 12-month calendar and I just think that that\'s something that a younger guy like Justin could learn from.\"
