Justin Fields Reveals 'Toughest Thing' About Major Move to New York

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields is settling into his new surroundings rather well, and as training camp approaches, head coach Aaron Glenn is beginning to get his point across.

For Fields, he has stumbled around the league in his four years, starting with the Chicago Bears, to the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, and is now with the Jets.

Some think Justin might be on his last chance at staking a claim to be a starting-caliber quarterback in football, but to do that, he must play well, and that starts on the practice field.

And as Fields explains, it has been quite a process getting to know everything about the franchise and his new teammates.

"It's been good," Fields said via the team's official website. "Of course this is my third team in the last three years, so last year pretty much was the same thing. But I'm definitely grateful for those experiences and kind of took those two experiences and brought them here. The process has been good so far. When I first got here, just trying to learn everybody's name was the toughest thing for me. But as time goes along, you just start building those relationships with the different people around the building and stuff like that, but the process has been great."

Fields will be tasked with leading Tanner Engstrand's offense and has his old Ohio State teammate Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall as his go-to weapons, and to get the best out of those two players, chemistry must be built during the offseason.

With training camp on the horizon, we will get to see how Fields is progressing in learning Engstrand's system, as well as how he and his teammates gel on the field.

Not many are expecting big things from Glenn's Jets in 2025, with the cultural foundation Glenn is building being the key focus in Year 1, and it appears Justin is pleased with how things are progressing right now.

Of course, he or the Jets haven't hit true adversity yet; that will come, but so far this offseason, Fields and his new team appear to be a good match - let's see if it produces something substantial on the field.
