Chicago Bears fans are going to need to be patient when Justin Fields starts playing, whether that’s during the first game of 2021 or some later date. While it would be amazing if he stepped into the game and gave us a perfect indication of the quarterback he would turn into, that’s highly unlikely.
How unlikely? Well, I was curious what typical first-round quarterback play looked like, but I am simply done talking about the 2017 class. It’s still too early to pass judgment on anything more recent, however. Fortunately, from 2009 to 2016, twenty-five different quarterbacks have been taken with a pick inside of the top 40.
