#### Storyline to Watch
Selected No. 11 overall by the Bears in the 2021 NFL Draft, Justin Fields will work this summer with his fourth offensive coordinator in Tanner Engstrand. Serving on the Lions' offensive staff from 2020-24, Engstrand was Detroit's passing came coordinator the past two seasons.
"He is just a talented individual on all facets," Engstrand said of Fields. "He's obviously a physically talented player. Everybody talks about the running, well, the guy's got an arm, too, and he does a great job with that. And mentally, he's phenomenal. He's been absolutely phenomenal so far, and we expect more out of that, and it's just a lot of things that you can do with that type of player that is going to put stress on a defense and make that defensive coordinator stay up late at night as we get going into this thing."
During OTAs, Engstrand installed the new system and emphasized the learning process for Fields.
"Get him to understand the concepts, get him to understand the progressions, get him to play fast, get him to play on time and in rhythm," he said. "And then when things break down, he's got those things, you know, that he can rely on when things aren't exactly the way we want it to be. In addition, he's got the legs, so that does show up in the run game to some degree as well."
While Fields has been reunited with former Ohio State teammate WR Garrett Wilson, he will work this summer in the new system while using a new language and throwing to new personnel. But after a full spring in Florham Park, it will be interesting to see how quickly the offense can progress in camp.
"We're just getting a lot thrown at us right now, so of course getting a grasp on that," Fields said during OTAs. "Knowing that in and out and of course getting on the same page as guys that are running certain routes, different routes, that I've never thrown before, and just kind of doing that. So, I think that's been the biggest thing, but getting a full grasp of the offense since it's new, and like I said, it's been a lot, and then also getting on the same page as my receivers, tight ends, and running backs.
