As the Pittsburgh Steelers gear up for their first preseason game, an unexpected quarterback competition is unfolding. With veteran Russell Wilson resting a calf injury, Justin Fields, acquired earlier in the offseason, has been taking snaps with the starters. This shift has sparked speculation about who will start in Week 1, with former NFL player Louis Riddick suggesting that Fields might secure the role if he continues to impress in practice. Initially expected to develop behind Wilson, Fields is now quietly gaining momentum, showing notable improvement under the guidance of Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.

Kenny Pickett is reportedly off to an impressive start with the Philadelphia Eagles. His departure from the Pittsburgh Steelers, after just a year and a half as their starting quarterback, was abrupt and tinged with disappointment. This past offseason saw significant changes: Russell Wilson joined the Steelers, and Pickett, seeking a fresh start, was traded to the Eagles. In return, the Steelers acquired Justin Fields to strengthen their quarterback lineup.

Although Pickett is not expected to vie for the starting position, he has been making notable plays during practice. Currently, the Eagles and Pickett appear to be enjoying a favorable beginning, much like the Steelers with their new quarterbacks, Wilson and Fields. The Eagles view Pickett as a potentially reliable backup who might one day reclaim a starting role in the NFL. His current performance in OTAs is promising, but consistency remains to be seen.
