Matt Eberflus Praises Justin Fields for His 'Exceptional Traits'
The Chicago Bears endured the ignominy of having the worst record in the NFL last season.
Despite this, they traded away their first overall draft pick, a move that signals their faith in quarterback Justin Fields as the future of the team.
Fields showcased his running prowess last season, but consistency in his passing game was lacking.
The onus is now on Fields to step up his performance, especially as the Bears have bolstered their passing game by bringing in star receiver DJ Moore.
Fields needs to elevate his game as a passer and demonstrate that he can be a dependable quarterback.
Appearing on "The Pat McAfee Show," Bears head coach Matt Eberflus lauded Fields for his "special qualities" and his undeniable "it factor." Eberflus highlighted how Fields' mobility sets him apart from other quarterbacks in the league.
Moreover, Eberflus commended Fields' strong work ethic, describing him as the hardest-working player on the team and someone who is always the first to arrive and last to leave.
However, Fields must show improvement in his passing game. Opponents are likely to focus on limiting his running options, forcing him to rely on his arm to win games.
If Fields can rise to the challenge and become a more well-rounded quarterback, the Bears could defy expectations this season.
