Justin Fields Earns Praise: Jets coach Aaron Glenn commends Justin Fields for his dedication and humility, saying he’s focused on being himself and giving his best for the team. “He’s not trying to be a celebrity quarterback, he’s just trying to be himself.”

Some players leave a mark on a franchise that time and distance can’t erase. For Chicago Bears fans, Justin Fields is one of those players—a quarterback whose legacy goes beyond touchdowns and stat lines.

Now on his third NFL team, Fields continues to draw the same praise from coaches and teammates that endeared him to Chicago. New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn recently captured what makes Fields so special:

“He’s not out here trying to be a celebrity quarterback. He’s just being himself, whatever comes with that. He’s not trying to impress anybody. He’s just busting his tail, working to be the best quarterback he can be for this team. Everybody sees that—and I love it.”

Does that surprise any Bears fan? Not in the slightest.

Justin Fields: The Same Leader Bears Fans Know and Love

Forget the criticisms or lingering doubts about Fields’ abilities as a passer—this is about who he is as a person and a teammate. Even during his stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, Fields maintained the same humble, steady leadership that made him a fan favorite in Chicago. When he lost his starting job in Pittsburgh, despite having led the team to victories, he took it in stride—never pointing fingers or making excuses.

Whether you believe Fields is destined to become a franchise quarterback or not, one thing is undeniable: it’s nearly impossible not to root for him. He remains the calm, soft-spoken leader he’s always been. As Coach Glenn pointed out, Fields has never been one to chase the spotlight or make headlines for the wrong reasons.

A Steadfast Presence in a Changing League

In a sports world where egos often run wild—especially as fame and fortune grow—Fields stands out for his work ethic and humility. He shows up every day, puts in the work, and keeps his head down. That kind of attitude isn’t just rare—it’s invaluable.

The Jets are lucky to have a leader and teammate like Justin Fields. And Bears fans can rest easy knowing that, wherever his career takes him, the qualities that made Fields beloved in Chicago are still shining just as brightly.
