Bears coach Matt Nagy: Rookie QB Justin Fields 'everything' they envisioned

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Buyer’s remorse is not a phrase the Chicago Bears associate with Justin Fields.

A shade under five weeks since the Bears moved up in the first round to nab the Ohio State quarterback, coach Matt Nagy held court after the team's first open OTA workout and said Fields had thus far met, and to a certain extent, exceeded expectations.

“Everything that we thought he was going to be when he got here with learning and being obsessed with everything that we teach him and then being able to be himself out on the field -- he’s really doing things in a really good way,” Nagy said on a Wednesday Zoom call.
