NFL fans were utterly deceived by a troubling viral clip featuring Justin Fields.

Today serves as a reminder to exercise caution when it comes to trusting information found on the internet.

For instance, a recent viral video featuring current Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields turned out to be false. James T. Yoder of Chat Sports shared a video of Fields speaking, but he included a fabricated transcript claiming that the former Ohio State player received payment to transfer from Georgia.

However, upon increasing the volume on the video, it became clear that the entire clip was soundless. Fields never made the statements that Yoder attributed to him. Nevertheless, many individuals fell for the hoax.

Adding further irony, Yoder's tweet and phony transcript caused the latter to trend on Twitter.

Don't worry if you were initially fooled by this. Yoder managed to trick plenty of other Twitter users.
