Amid full frenzy as he begins Bears career, QB Justin Fields says, ‘I’m made for this’

Two weeks of Chicago celebrating him as the quarterback to save the Bears from their decades of offensive tedium is nothing to rookie Justin Fields.

He’s been a star since he was a teenager, playing on national television and having his wild college recruitment covered in a Netflix documentary, then took center stage at Ohio State — playing bigger games than any of the Bears’ the last two seasons.

So he’s fine with the frenzy. Bring it.

“I’m made for this,” he said. “I’m built for this. It’s nothing new to me.”

Fields can take the first step toward proving that when he hits the field Friday afternoon for rookie minicamp.
