Justin Fields sat atop a dais in the George “Mugs” Halas Auditorium on Monday afternoon and looked forward. It was the only approach that made sense.
For the previous hour-plus, Fields’ new general manager, Ryan Poles, and his new head coach, Matt Eberflus, shared their philosophies and collective vision for getting the Chicago Bears back on track. But for Fields, the final day of January offered a bit of a rebirth.
“It definitely feels good just having a clean slate,” he said. “It’s a fresh start. Just talking to Ryan and Coach (Eberflus), I just feel like they have a great plan in place and I’m ready to follow it.”
