Fields was never given a fair shot by head coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers, which showed as Wilson took over the starting quarterback job halfway through last season. While the injury news is horrible for Jets fans to swallow, it also confirmed the Steelers' worst fears with Fields at quarterback.
The combustible force the WR became in Pittsburgh is still there, but Pickens doesn’t want people to think it’s how he acts off the field.
He caught passes from the likes of Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph, Justin Fields and a 36-year-old Russell Wilson. It isn't a stretch to suggest he will be more productive with Prescott, especially since he is also playing alongside a game-changing wide receiver in CeeDee Lamb.
