Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields made waves this week when he unfollowed the team’s official account on Instagram.
With rumors galore about what the Bears will do with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, Fields had good reason for the decision to unfollow the account. Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with his stance as the team’s franchise quarterback moving forward.
“Man, bro, I’m glad we’re talking about it,” Fields told The 33rd Team Podcast on Wednesday. “Because people … why do people take social media so serious? Like I still mess with the Bears, this and that, I’m just trying to take a little break. I unfollowed the Bears and the NFL. I’m just not trying to have football on my timeline.”
