Former All-Pro RB Doesn’t Hold Back in Assessment of Justin Fields

-

Many NFL players, both current and former, speak highly of Justin Fields, praising his leadership and impressive play-making ability. However, a Pittsburgh Steelers blog named Blitzburgh recently posed a question to its readers about whether the team should trade the 20th overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft for Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields. Le’Veon Bell, a former Steelers all-pro running back, strongly expressed his disapproval of the idea, indicating his stance against trading a valuable draft pick for Fields.

hell no, nothin against Justin Fields tho .. he’s just not the answer, TRUST ME

Discussions about Justin Fields and potential trades involving first-round picks are positive developments for the Bears and GM Ryan Poles. Recently, ESPN’s draft insider Mel Kiper proposed that the Bears might acquire the 8th overall pick from the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for Fields. With the draft still more than 3 months away, the Bears franchise stands to benefit, whether they keep the number 1 pick or decide to trade it once again.
