Bears’ Justin Fields praised by former Ohio State teammates

There’s a lot of excitement about Bears quarterback Justin Fields heading into his second NFL season. Fields had a tough rookie year, which included being among the most-sacked quarterbacks and handcuffed by the coaching staff.

Fields has been lauded for his athleticism, work ethic and star power, including from his former teammates at Ohio State.
