Fields digs in to Bears-Packers rivalry originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago

While practicing throws last week at Halas Hall, a Bears staff member asked Fields who Fields' center was at Ohio State.
"Josh Myers," Fields said.
When asked if Myers got drafted, Fields replied, "To the wrong team."
"Who's that?" the staff member asked.
"The Packers," Fields said without hesitation.
Myers was drafted by the Packers in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Fields is already making a name for himself in Chicago and he hasn't even played in his first NFL game yet. He currently has the top third, fourth and fifth selling jerseys in the NFL, leading all rookies and quarterbacks on the list.
