Browns Player Shares Intriguing Insights on Justin Fields Leading up to Sunday's Game

The Chicago Bears are playing in meaningful December football games, despite their current playoff odds being slim. Winning out will significantly boost their chances of making the playoffs. But their toughest matchup is against the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. Interestingly, Justin Fields first career start, nearly two years ago, took place in Cleveland and was a forgettable experience. Fields was sacked nine times and hit 15 times, with the coaching staff at the time seemingly leaving him out to dry. Now, Fields is fighting for his future in Chicago, and a strong performance, especially against a great defense like the Browns, could help him overcome past demons and even help solidify his place in Chicago's future. Ahead of the game, Browns cornerback Gregg Newsome II shared an intriguing comment about his thoughts on the Bears quarterback.

"Justin Fields is a great player. I think he gets a lot of criticism from the media but he's a great player. He can make every single throw. He has a strong arm. He runs like a running back. A great young player."

Newsome and Fields share prior experience from their time playing in the Big 10—Newsome at Northwestern and Fields at Ohio State. They were also part of the same draft class in 2021, with Newsome selected in the first round, 26th overall, and Fields going 11th overall. There's a growing trend of players from both the Bears and opposing teams expressing support for Fields this season, which should hold significance for Ryan Poles. However, it's crucial for Fields to demonstrate more consistency. The upcoming test against Cleveland is kind of poetic, offering him a unique opportunity to showcase how much he has progressed since his first start over two years ago.
