Quarterbacken Justin Fields er netop blevet tradet til Kansas City Chiefs fra New York Jets. Formålet er at give Chiefs en erfaren reserve, mens Patrick Mahomes vender tilbage fra en knæskade. Selvom det endnu er uvist, om Mahomes er klar til sæsonstarten, ser Fields positivt på sin nye rolle i Kansas City.
Fields udtrykte sin begejstring over en ny begyndelse, traditionen og kulturen i Chiefs. Han fremhævede også muligheden for at lære af Mahomes og head coach Andy Reid, uanset om han kommer til at spille eller blot sidde på bænken.
"Det handler om at vinde," sagde Fields til ESPN.com via Nate Taylor. "Vi kendte til hinanden, men havde ikke kommunikeret før. Jeg glæder mig til at lære af [Mahomes]. Jeg har allerede begyndt at stille spørgsmål og observere, hvordan han arbejder i møderum og på banen. Det er også spændende at arbejde med Coach Reid og offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy samt resten af angrebsstaben."
Fields har ikke tidligere oplevet meget succes i NFL, så en chance for at være en del af en vinderorganisation – selv som reserve – er en stor ændring. Det markerer også en hurtig udvikling for Chiefs, som netop har afsluttet en sæson med tabende resultater.
