Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the quarterback situation during his end-of-season press conference, highlighting Justin Fields as a significant candidate for the starting role if Russell Wilson departs. Tomlin praised Fields' professionalism and improvement while with the team, emphasizing his urgency and growth within the system.

Fields started the season as the Steelers' quarterback, achieving a 4-2 record. Although he lost his starting position to Wilson upon his return from injury, his performance left a lasting impression. As the Steelers look to stabilize their quarterback situation, Fields' mobility and potential present a stark contrast to the aging Wilson.
