Justin Fields admitted he won’t feel any extra emotions about facing the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 as the new quarterback of the Jets. That game is one of the most anticipated because of how things ended with Mike Tomlin.
Even though Fields had the team in a good position with a 4-2 record, Tomlin took away the starting job and gave it to Russell Wilson. From that moment on, Justin only appeared in occasional plays and had to watch everything from the bench.
That’s why, when he became a free agent, Justin Fields didn’t consider returning to Pittsburgh, as he wanted a fresh start. That might explain his indifference heading into the Week 1 game. “That’s who we play Week 1. It wasn’t really a thought to that.”
Who is starting quarterback for the Jets?
Justin Fields will be the starting quarterback for the Jets, and the player expressed excitement about a new chapter in his career with Aaron Glenn as his head coach.
“I think I can be great. That’s been the goal for me my whole life, my whole career. I think the sky is the limit for this team, for this offense, but we do have a long way to go.”
