After struggling during his rookie season, Fields has emerged as of late. In 11 games, he has thrown for 1,642 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Fields has also rushed for 834 yards and seven touchdowns.
It's worth noting the Jets could have selected Fields with the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. But the team decided to take Zach Wilson instead, whom the Jets just benched for backup Mike White.
