Justin Fields Might Keep Running In 2023

The Chicago Bears are expected to keep finding creative ways to use quarterback Justin Fields' running ability as an asset that keeps drives alive and occasionally leads to a big scoring play. When asked if the team wanted Fields to run less this year to avoid putting himself in harm's way, a Bears official said, "Well, we want him to get hit less." Fields was indecisive on a lot of his 55 sacks in 2022, which is something that should improve in 2023. The 24-year-old isn't just a good runner, he's a historically special runner at the position, picking up 1,143 yards rushing last year. It's part of the reason why he's a popular breakout candidate with high-end QB1 upside if he improves at all in the passing game in his third NFL season. The acquisition of receiver DJ Moore should help Fields evolve as a passer.
