Winning over a locker room is never easy in the NFL, especially when joining a new team. For New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields, who is the assumed team leader (courtesy of the built-in responsibility his position demands), he does so as soon as possible.
After signing a two-year, $40 million deal with the Jets in the offseason, Fields instantly took over the organization’s starting quarterback job. Not only is the Ohio State product the “new guy” around these parts, but considering how disappointing the Aaron Rodgers-led seasons were for fans, he takes over the leadership role in a unique timeline.
