Justin Fields and Caleb Williams are connected as both have had significant moments in their football careers. Fields was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 2021 and spent three years with the team before being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Meanwhile, the Bears used the first overall draft pick to select Williams. Fields has faced challenges with the Bears but has shown promise with the Steelers, helping them win two games in the 2024 regular season. Fields stepped up as the starting quarterback when Russell Wilson was sidelined with a hamstring injury and led the team to victory.
On the other hand, Williams had a lackluster NFL debut with the Bears, finishing with just 93 passing yards and no touchdowns in a game against the Tennessee Titans. He continued to struggle in the next game as the Bears lost to the Houston Texans. Fields can relate to Williams’ challenges as he faced similar issues during his time with the Bears. Despite working under different offensive coordinators, Fields found support with Eberflus, the current head coach of the Bears, and believes that Williams will also recover from his slow start.
Fields offered his support and encouragement to Williams, stating that he believes in the Heisman Trophy winner’s talent and potential to improve as the season progresses. Fields spoke about his own experiences changing schools and joining a new NFL team, emphasizing the importance of faith, family, and trust in God’s plan. Fields recently collaborated with Reebok to launch the Justin Fields Collection, which includes training shoes and youth-sized shoes inspired by his roots in Georgia and community support.
At just 25 years old, Fields has already achieved significant milestones in his football career, from being named “Mr. Georgia football” in high school to leading Ohio State to a College Football Playoff National Championship game. Fields credits his faith, family, and community support for keeping him grounded and helping him navigate through challenges and changes in his career. Fields and the Steelers are set to face the Los Angeles Chargers in their regular-season home opener at Acrisure Stadium, as they continue to work towards a successful season.
