Former Ohio State star Justin Fields may have been handed the perfect opportunity to make an NFL team look silly for their decision

Since being selected in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, one former Ohio State Buckeyes player’s career has not gone exactly according to plan.

Justin Fields will be on his third NFL team in 2025 after spending the 2024 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fields was traded to the Steelers by the Chicago Bears, who decided he wasn’t their franchise quarterback and selected Caleb Williams instead.

Now, Fields has a promising opportunity with the New York Jets, where he’s reunited with former Ohio State teammate Garrett Wilson. The NFL schedule may also be offering Fields a prime stage to prove himself.

A Chance for Justin Fields to Make the Steelers Regret Their Decision

As of now, the Steelers have not signed quarterback Aaron Rodgers, despite widespread expectations. Pittsburgh currently lacks a clear starting quarterback, and it didn’t have to be this way. There was interest in bringing Fields back, but the team was unwilling to guarantee him the starting role. Now, it appears Fields may get his shot at the Steelers in Week 1 of the 2025 season.
