Ryan Switzer is Pittsburgh Steelers' Emergency Quarterback

Posted Oct 12, 2019
Who is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ emergency quarterback? Offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner gave a number instead of a name. No, it wasn’t 9-1-1. “No. 10 always handles that,” Fichtner said, referring to third-year receiver Ryan Switzer. “He always takes snaps before the game. He’ll always have the extra wristband off to the side, that type of thing." (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)
