Justin Fields said that he is trying to follow in Cam Newton's footsteps
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields has known Carolina Panthers veteran signal-caller, Cam Newton, since he was in high school.
Newton, who played with the Panthers last year, has been a mentor of sorts for the Bears rookie QB for a while now, and in an appearance on 670 The Score's Parkins & Spiegel Show, Fields revealed that other than some of his teammates, Newton has been his go-to guy for advice this season.
«Cam Newton. I've known Cam since my junior year in high school. He actually called me either last week or the week before that, and we had a good little chat. Whenever I need some advice or something like that, I'm always able to reach out to Cam. He's always ready to talk.»
Fields also talked about getting pointers from another QB he has looked up to throughout his life: former Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. «I remember seven, eight years old, wearing his cleats,» Fields said about Vick. «He's definitely one of the most electric players that I've seen play in my lifetime. I talk to him every now and then. It's always great hearing from him and the advice he gives me.»
