The Chicago Bears kicked off their rookie minicamp on Friday and there were plenty of media thirsty for their first look at former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields. It was his first time working out with fellow rookie teammates for all to see, so the anticipation was palpable.
And, judging from some of the tweets the Chicago media shared, the results of Fields’ performance were more than impressive. We’ve compiled some of the best shared on the app called Twitter for you to see. It all must be taken with a grain of salt because it’s one day, one practice, and without the best of the best of the team at camp yet, but there are still some takeaways.
Here are some of the best tweets from the Chicago media drooling over what Justin Fields looks like, and what he could be for the Bears, taken from our friends over at Bears Wire.

Hard to call Justin Fields’ first practice anything other than a success. He was accurate (I only saw one pass I would call poor) and showed absolutely zero issues taking snaps from center. Like a Pro Day, it looked like it should — very good. #Bears

That was fun watching Justin Fields practice for the first time. He was sharp out there. Very accurate. #Bears

100 observations after the #Bears first rookie mini-camp practice:
1. Quarterback Justin Fields did nothing to convince me he could not be the starting quarterback in Week 1.

2. Justin Fields looks the part, physically and intangibly. Exudes confidence. Great body language. Looks like the kind of quarterback who will command focus from his teammates.

3. Justin Fields' accuracy — albeit in May on a practice field against no defense — is noticeably impressive. Absolute bulls-eye darts to receivers in the flat.

4. With all due respect to Mitch Trubisky, Justin Fields is a different animal. This kid doesn't look like he needs training wheels. The snaps he took under center looked totally natural. Trubisky, who had just 13 starts under his belt, had a much longer learning curve.

5. Justin Fields-to-Dazz Newsome looks like a thing already. The rookie WR from North Carolina also made a good first impression.

All jokes aside, Fields looked good today. Calm and organized. He and Dazz Newsome had a really nice connection.

Second: He seems serious. Didn't seem intimidated by anything today. https://t.co/2FJldxz0VV

Justin Fields went to a receiver after running the wrong route in practice and told him how to fix it.
In his first practice.#Bears
