The Pittsburgh Steelers have named Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback for the upcoming season, ending a competition with Justin Fields. Coach Mike Tomlin emphasized the significance of Wilson's experience in making the decision.
This marks the fourth starting QB for Pittsburgh in as many seasons, following a tumultuous period following Ben Roethlisberger's retirement. The team has restructured its offense, hiring Arthur Smith as the new offensive coordinator.
Wilson's objective is to boost a struggling offense that hasn't seen playoff success in eight years. Despite a calf injury impacting his training camp, he has shown potential, including a notable touchdown drive in a recent game.
