Le’Veon Bell Offers Harsh Criticism of Browns Rival Steelers’ Justin Fields? NFL Tracker
JUNE 20 – HARSH? – Following a TikTok video of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields working out with social media star James Everett, also known as the “Route God,” Le’Veon Bell did not hold back his criticism of the former first-round pick.
“That ball [is] is getting there late,” Bell wrote on Twitter. “I know it’s routes on air, but this is telling a lot.”
Bell claims that the video shows Fields being late to release the ball, especially when Everrette is running a corner route and seemingly catches the football out of bounds. This raises the question of whether it should give Cleveland Browns fans reason to salivate at the prospect of the Steelers‘ starting Fields.
As of right now, it may be best to hold off. Yes, seeing a quarterback, especially one in the NFL, appearing to be late with his decision-making while throwing to a receiver versus air is worrying. But there are other factors that could explain this.
The biggest one is the unfamiliarity between the two could explain why the former Chicago Bears quarterback wasn’t throwing as early as he would be in a game.
However, nevertheless, as the Steelers are set to begin training camp near the end of July, the 25-year-old Fields will be hoping to beat out the veteran Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback.
