He is the most valuable weapon on their offense right now so they should probably take him a bit more seriously.

The 2021 NFL Draft then became one of the most exciting days in Chicago sports over the last few years. They drafted Justin Fields out of Ohio State University to be their new quarterback of the future. We don’t know when he will take over for Dalton but it is certainly an exciting time.
