At a press conference during the Chicago minicamp, Fields detailed that the former Bengals and Cowboys quarterback has taken on the mentor role.

I have learned a lot from Dalton. We have been talking too much“explained the rookie passer.” Andy has totally wrapped me up. Any questions I have, he answers, even when I’m pitching. “

Fields was drafted in the first round of the 2021 Draft Y expected to take over Chicago’s offense at some point in the campaign, relegating Dalton to the bench. About, coach Matt Nagy has denied that possibility.
