Last offseason, quarterback Justin Fields was just getting his feet wet working with the Bears offense. But wide receiver Darnell Mooney was immediately struck by Fields’ deep ball — to the point that Mooney was smiling mid-route on his very first catch from the rookie.
Flash forward one year, now it’s head coach Matt Eberflus who was left impressed by Fields’ deep-ball accuracy. And Eberflus indicated that it’s something that will be featured in Chicago’s offense.
“I would say, ‘Man, he throws a good deep ball,'” he told reporters Tuesday. “I’m excited about that. You could see it in the 7-on-7 and 11-on-11s. We’re going to take our shots down the field. He does a nice job doing that, and that’s what stands out to me.”
