New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields is looking to reignite his NFL career in the Big Apple, and he will have a head coach in Aaron Glenn who believes he is the guy.
Already named the starting quarterback, Fields has a clear path forward this season as he looks to kickstart his career and potentially put himself in the shop window of teams next offseason.
But to do that, he has to play well under offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, and to do that, he might hit the ground running this offseason.
Which according to Glenn via The Athletic's Zach Rosenblatt, he's already doing.
"There's a quiet confidence about that man that is unshakable," Glenn said.

That confidence will be key in Fields getting acclimated to the new scheme and his teammates which will be headlined by his former Ohio State pal Garrett Wilson.
With the Jets looking to put some nice pieces around Fields, with tight end Mason Taylor and tackle Armand Membou in the draft, the franchise will have an offensive line that in theory, should protect Fields well, given they could be seen as a top unit in football.
Granted, there are still calls for the Jets to add some more weapons for Justin, with Allen Lazard and Josh Reynolds seen as his other go-to options. Is that enough for Fields to work with? The jury is still out on that.
But it is clear that Fields is making the right impression with his new team, even in the early part of the offseason workouts.
