If Justin Fields remains with the Chicago Bears, he will play under his third offensive coordinator in four years and do so under the weight of extensive and wide-ranging opinions about his fitness for the job.
Luke Getsy, Fields’ most recent OC, recently opened up about the QB after landing a new gig of his own with the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason.
Tremendous growth for Justin,” Getsy said on Friday, February 16, per ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez. “Like I said when I was there, he’s one of the best human beings I’ve ever got to work with. It’s just the mentality that he brought every day, the consistent approach, the kind of man that he is. Just really, it was a blessing to work with him and he was someone that just came to work every day to get better and better, and I think he’ll continue to do so.
Whether Fields will continue to do so in Chicago remains to be seen, though that outcome currently appears unlikely.
The Bears hold the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft and most analysts expect general manager Ryan Poles to select Caleb Williams out of USC. Williams has drawn more comparisons to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes than any other prospect in the past seven years — quite the compliment, as Mahomes has played in four Super Bowls and captured three rings over that span.
