New Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields wore jersey No. 1 during his three seasons with the Chicago Bears. He wore No. 1 in college during his time at Ohio State.

Diontae Johnson trade rumors came into reality on Tuesday when the Pittsburgh Steelers sent the former Pro Bowler and a seventh-round draft pick to the Carolina Panthers.
