Justin Skyler Fields, born March 5, 1999, in Kennesaw, Georgia, is an American professional football quarterback now with the Kansas City Chiefs. After a freshman season at Georgia, he transferred to Ohio State, where in 2019 and 2020 he twice won Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and led the Buckeyes to the 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship Game. The Chicago Bears selected him eleventh overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. In Chicago from 2021 to 2023 he set the NFL single-game regular-season record for quarterback rushing yards with 178 and became the third quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. Traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024, he mostly served as a backup, then signed with the New York Jets in March 2025 and started nine games that season, throwing for 1,259 yards and seven touchdowns with one interception and four rushing scores before a knee injury ended his year. In March 2026 the Jets traded him to Kansas City, his fourth NFL team.
