Jaylen Warren: “I think the play calling and the talent I’ve seen when we practiced. Obviously all NFL teams have a lot of talent. But we started building a brotherhood during OTAs – as time goes on I’m excited to work with those guys more. One thing I need to work on – something the running back coach talked to me about at OTAs – was to press the line more. That means that when I get the ball in the backfield, even if I see a hole, that I shouldn’t hit it right away. Instead they want me to press the line and be patient. If I hit it too quickly that makes it easier for the linebackers. If I am patient that may get the linebackers out of position and gives the offensive line a chance to latch on to them more.”

First how real is the QB battle between Wilson and Fields from your perspective?

I think it’s a real battle but the Steelers have made it clear that Russell Wilson is in the pole position. If he has the edge or if it’s even a tie coming out of OTAs and camp he will be the starter.  But Fields has made it clear he’s here to compete and push Wilson too.

On Thursday Fields looked good. You take the OTAs with a grain of salt but he was showing patience and letting things develop. His throws and reads looked good. He is being very competitive but the tie goes to Wilson. The Steelers know what they have in both and know the upside Fields provides – a mid-20’s player with lots of potential.

First off-  tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started covering the team?

I started off in Pittsburgh – got my B.A. in Broadcast Reporting from Point Park University and covered several sports teams for the University of Pittsburgh, then worked for the Steelers in their communications department as a reporter there.

After that I worked for the Kansas City Chiefs in ’21 and ’22 as a communications assistant before moving back to Pittsburgh to work for Yardbarker covering the AFC North – primarily covering the Steelers.

First, can you let me know what you’ve been up to since football?

Now I’m back in Moses Lake, Wisconsin – my hometown. I have a cattle ranch and also do some real estate. I wear many hats. I have eight daughters so that of course takes up the lion’s share of my time! I’ve coached them in soccer and softball in high school.

It’s controlled chaos – I just go where I’m told. My lovely wife and I have been married for 19 years – we got married young. I just do what I’m told – she tells me what to do and where to go.

First off, can you let us know how NFL Sisters in Service began and what you do?

We started Sisters in Service actually prior to 2015 – the wives and daughters of players started doing different service projects here in South Florida. We’ve worked to help families of missing children and with children who have been exploited. We’ve worked with the Trayvon Martin Foundation then because he was initially reported as missing.

We helped with a young lady in Baltimore who was kidnapped while visiting her dad – that’s how the Trayvon Martin family learned about us and reached out to us.

We decided to formally organize in 2015 and now are a 501c3.
