Justin Fields gleefully greeted a group of kids with high-fives and it was so wholesome

Justin Fields

Entering the 2023 NFL season, Justin Fields has a pivotal year in his career. After the Chicago Bears added explosive receiver D.J. Moore, first-round offensive tackle Darnell Wright, and filled in some significant defensive holes during the offseason, the baseline expectation is that Fields makes a considerable leap this fall.

But before Fields even starts to fathom living up to the hype, he’s got a few vital off-field tasks to take care of.

On Tuesday, after the conclusion of Fields’ youth football camp in Deerfield, Illinois, the young quarterback came across a group of kids excited to meet him. In a video from photographer and videographer Simeon Kelley (@SirSimeonKelley on Twitter), Fields wasted no time running over to give them all high fives as they erupted in joy.
