Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed the media recently for phase 3 of OTAs. He praised the early progress of new backup quarterback Justin Fields' work in practice.
"Very smart and a hard worker and very calm. Cool (as a)cucumber man. He (Justin Fields) gets it. He's been there (and) you can tell that he's been there. Again, he's trying to work on all the ball actions that we're doing, play action stuff that we're doing that might be a little bit different," said Reid, "Some of the drops (and) trying to fit them in with the receivers. He doesn't know all of these receivers yet, so he's getting to know these guys so he can stay on time with them. But I like what I see. He's extremely smart though (and) really sharp, sharp, sharp."
The New York Jets dealt Fields to the Chiefs in exchange for a 2027 6th-round pick. Fields' 2025 season ended with 7 touchdowns and 1 interception, rushing for 383 yards and 4 touchdowns. He was the No. 11 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and was highly rated out of Ohio State by the Chicago Bears.
During his time in Chicago, Fields set the single-game regular season record for quarterback rushing yards and became the third NFL quarterback ever to have a 1,000-yard rushing season.
