Jets coach Aaron Glenn has already appointed Justin Fields his leaving quarter.
By replacing Aaron Rodgers, the fields will become the eighth quarter of week 1 different for jets in the past 14 seasons. It is a regular role role, unlike last season when the Steelers put it in the bench after a departure of 4-2.
“It was, of course, different for me and a space where I was not necessarily comfortable“Said Fields, via Rich Cimini d’Espn.
Fields met the media on Wednesday during his first availability since his signing of a $ 40 million contract over two years in free agency last month.
He said that his benches did not play in his decision to leave the Steelers, who tried to re-signate fields.
“You can’t take personal things,” said Fields. “This is something that I have learned over the years, not to take anything personnel.
At the same time, Fields admitted that sitting behind Russell Wilson was “a place where I was not, really, never in all my life”. In the last 12 games, including the playoffs, Fields played 15 snaps in five games and launched two passes.
“The coach Tomlin made a decision he thought he was best for the team, and I’m never going to go against it,” said Fields. “I’m not a selfish guy, so I just tried to change my perspective, to improve myself every day in practice.”
Fields, 26, now has the chance to start with your third time in your fifth season.
