Justin Fields stands on the field prior to Sunday’s game against the Vikings.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles said he expects quarterback Justin Fields to be his starter in 2023.

The Bears hold the top pick in this year’s draft, but Poles all-but-squashed the notion he’d take a passer with the selection.

“I’d have to be absolutely blown away to make that type of decision,” he said Tuesday.

Alabama’s Bryce Young is considered the best quarterback in the draft, and nine quarterbacks have been taken first overall since 2010.
