Follow Us
Justin Fields appears to be the undisputed future of the Chicago Bears franchise according to general manager Ryan Poles. The Bears GM was solidifying his faith in their young QB and displaying an unwavering trust in his abilities. The 11th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Fields went through a standard rookie season while acclimatizing with his new team.
While talking on the Mully & Haugh Show on 670 The Score, Poles states, “My level of belief [in Fields] is sky-high. The way this guy is moving around the building right now is he is locked on, he is focused, he wants to be great. He’s a first-in-last-out guy, and he’s pulling this team together. And you can tell the effect he has on other people. All these guys, they’re showing up, they’re going to work, they’re doing extra with him.”
