Uno has his own Instagram account you can follow and enjoy content like this:
The Bears landed the 11th pick from the New York Giants, in exchange for the 20th pick and the 164th pick (fifth-round) in this year's draft, plus first- and fourth-round picks in 2022. That was a whole lot to give up, but if you're jumping nine spots to land a quarterback, that's what it will cost.
Fields had an incredible career at Ohio State, accounting for 78 touchdowns in 22 starts while going 20-2 as a starter. He has a strong, accurate arm and the mobility to extend plays. He needs some polish and struggled against some of the better defenses he faced, but there is a lot to like here. He also had an incredible Pro Day that convinced many he will succeed at the next level.
