The Chicago Bears were in the hunt for a quarterback this offseason. With the combination of Mitch Trubisky and Nick Foles failing to deliver the goods last season, the side was reportedly eyeing a trade for Seattle Seahawks’ Russell Wilson.
When that failed to materialize, the side signed free agent veteran Andy Dalton instead. This though was not their last move in the quarterback market.
In the 2021 NFL Draft, the Bears traded up to snag Ohio State’s Justin Fields with the 11th overall pick, signaling their intention of moulding their franchise QB for the future.

“Just work out, study film, meet with coach Nagy individually on Zoom. Most likely just talk about the playbook,” said Fields. “Right now, I have a base idea of what plays we have.
So just diving into that more. Focusing on the smaller details because when you have a big base of it, you can really start detailing each and every specific thing in a play. Really get to know it like the back of your hand.”
