Justin Fields is ready to show Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers why they made a huge mistake benching him last season to give the starting job to Russell Wilson. Despite receiving a significant offer to stay with the team, the young quarterback chose the Jets.
Now, the former player of the Chicago Bears warns that the long-awaited moment has finally arrived to showcase all of his talent as QB1. “I know I definitely have some untapped potential. I’m hoping to get there this year and I’m hoping to put it on display for everybody to see.”
The Jets will begin another rebuilding process after Aaron Rodgers didn’t take them to the Super Bowl. As a result, after his outstanding performance as defensive coordinator for the Lions, Aaron Glenn is the new head coach.
What did the Jets trade for Justin Fields?
The Jets didn’t have to trade anything for Justin Fields because the quarterback was a free agent. During that interview with Ethan Greenberg, the player acknowledged that Aaron Glenn was the key factor that tipped the balance between New York and Pittsburgh due to the past both have in the NFC North with the Lions and Bears.
“Our relationship playing against each other means a lot because Detroit, of course, they’ve had a lot of success the past couple of years. So for him to want me here is definitely an honor, and I’m going to put it all on the line for him and do all I can to help this team be successful.”
