Notable Justin Fields quotes from his interview with Bleacher Report:
- Fields on being the Bears leader: “I’m more comfortable this year. I kind of know what's coming and know what to expect. Me not knowing if I'm going to be the leader of the team or not last year compared to this year means a whole different mindset. Just comfortability and knowing that I'm going to be the guy and that this is my team is definitely a different mindset as I try to be a leader for everybody on the team.”
- Fields on the Bears skill players: “We don't have an Odell [Beckham Jr.] or a Cooper Kupp on our team, but at the end of the day I think if everybody is on their P's and Q's, and we're on top of everything and not making mistakes, the players we have right now are good enough.
The front office thinks that, too. The fans outside of the facility, they don't know what's going on at practice. Just because we don't have a big-name guy, doesn't mean those guys aren't talented. I have plenty of confidence in myself and my teammates that we're going to get the job done.”
- Fields on the Bears coaching staff: “It's been awesome. They're great coaches, of course, but also great people. We spent a little bit of time together; we actually went golfing together. Just kind of getting to know those guys away from the facility and getting to know them more on a personal level was awesome.”
- Fields on Velus Jones Jr: “At rookie minicamp there was one play that stood out to me, he had a 10-yard dig route in and caught it and hit that second gear kick for a touchdown. I think he caught it at 10 yards and took it 60, so he's a great run-after-the-catch guy. He's going to pick up a lot of yards and is physical. He's almost like a running back at receiver.”
- Fields on Darnell Mooney: “How hard he works. He's already talented; he's fast and has great hands. On top of that, he works harder than anybody I know other than myself. A couple nights ago, we were in the facility until 12:30 a.m. going through plays and walking through plays for the next day at practice.”
