Examiner accepts Justin Areas will be Week 1 starter for Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback circumstance has been a gigantic talking point of the offseason. Pittsburgh discharged Mitch Trubisky in February and marked Russell Wilson at the starting of free organization some time recently exchanging Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Falcons. Artisan Rudolph finished up marking with the Tennessee Titans, and Pittsburgh obtained Justin Areas from the Chicago Bears for a sixth-round choose in 2025 that might gotten to be a fourth-round choose.
Whereas Mike Tomlin made it clear that Russell Wilson is in “pole position” as he calls it entering the spring and preparing camp, ESPN NFL investigator and correspondent Jeff Darlington says he considers it’ll be Areas getting the gesture Week 1.
“Right presently, there’s no way Justin Areas goes into preparing camp [and] does not compete with Russell Wilson,” Darlington said. “And very truly, in case you’re putting chances on this, I’ve got Areas having superior chances of winning the starter work, after what we’ve seen from Russell Wilson the past two a long time, than Russell Wilson.”
Whereas the numbers in terms of passing favored Wilson final season, Areas would allow the Steelers more in terms of being a dual-threat fellow beneath center, which fashion of play would fit Arthur Smith’s offense like a glove.
