After a second season in the league where he flashed bits of greatness, the Chicago Bears have made it clear that they intend to build their team around young star quarterback Justin Fields, and it sounds like Fields is already putting in some major offseason work himself, too.
This week, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus discussed the development of Justin Fields with NFL Network’s Judy Battista at the Annual League Meeting on Saturday, detailing why he has confidence in the young quarterback going forward.
“I was with him the whole year,” Eberflus said. “I was in all the quarterback meetings. And I really spent the first year building that relationship with him as a head coach and quarterback. He just showed me grit and, toughness, work ethic, his teammates love him. All the things that come with that position, he exuded those traits for sure.”
