Justin Fields on his state of mind if the team selects a QB in the Draft, ''What team will I be playing for next?''
The Chicago Bears, who possess the first selection in the forthcoming NFL draft, have a wealth of choices available to them as they embark upon the offseason.
With Justin Fields having put in an impressive performance during his second season, it is deemed improbable that the Bears will choose a quarterback with their top pick. Nevertheless, the possibility cannot be ruled out entirely, as a highly touted quarterback prospect could astound the team during the draft evaluation process.
Should the Bears opt to select a quarterback, they would be faced with the repercussions of their decision in relation to Fields. The Bears' current quarterback spoke to Sports Illustrated about what would go through his mind if that were to occur. "I presume they would inform me beforehand, but if they didn't, the question that would be lingering in my mind would be 'For which team will I play next?' Amidst all this uncertainty, I try to focus on the things that I can control, and concentrate on myself," Fields stated. During the previous season, Fields participated in 15 games for the Bears, compiling 2,242 passing yards, 1,143 rushing yards, and registering a total of 25 touchdowns. He also received a single fifth-place MVP vote during the NFL Honors awards ceremony held last Thursday.
The Bears must take into consideration prospects such as Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud, as well as Fields, when making their quarterback decision. At the conclusion of the season, the team's general manager, Ryan Poles, explained how they will approach the quarterback selection process.
"We will proceed in the same manner as we always have. We will assess the draft class, and I can say this: It would take something truly extraordinary for us to make that type of decision," Poles remarked
