Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is preparing for his third NFL season, and he already believes he’s a top-five running quarterback of all time. 

Fields is coming off a season in which he rushed for 1,143 yards, the second-most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single season behind only Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens.

Fields was recently asked for his top five running quarterbacks of all time, and the Bears QB listed himself along with four other QBs. 

"Oh, I am because I definitely think I am," Fields said on the "All Things Covered" podcast when told he could list himself in the top five. 

"I’m definitely in the top five. No order, but I got to go with my boy Mike Vick, gotta go with Cam [Newton], Lamar [Jackson], of course, me, and then final… Steve Young too." 

While Fields was fantastic on the ground in 2022, Chicago’s passing game struggled, finishing the season last in the NFL in passing yards per game (130.5). 

Chicago went out and acquired a receiver for Fields in the offseason, trading the No. 1 pick of the NFL Draft to the Carolina Panthers for D.J. Moore, along with a future first-round pick and two second-rounders.
