Jets' Justin Fields Not Trying To Be 'Celebrity Quarterback'

Jets' Justin Fields Not Trying To Be 'Celebrity Quarterback' originally appeared on Athlon Sports.The Aaron Glenn era for the New York Jets has gotten off to a strong and relatively quiet start, with the franchise no longer in the news every other day.Oh, and that's by design with Glenn wanting his franchise to move in silence, unlike the Aaron Rodgers era when it felt like every other day, there was a headline being made.But that is no more, with Justin Fields putting his head down and working hard as he is the Jets' starter under Glenn, and as we know, Glenn doesn't take any prisoners; he wants things done his way.Things appear to be going smoothly with Fields at quarterback, and Glenn is loving it.The head coach, per The Athletic's Zach Rosenblatt, spoke on Fields' time in the Big Apple, and clearly had a parting shot at a certain former quarterback in the process.Hes not trying to be the celebrity quarterback, hes just trying to be himself, Glenn said.

And whatever comes with that, it comes with it.

So, hes not trying to impress anybody.

Hes going out there and hes busting his (expletive) trying to be the best quarterback he can be for this team.

Everybody sees that and I like that.New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (7).John Jones-Imagn Images"Not trying to be a celebrity quarterback," well, that is quite the sentence.A lot came with Rodgers being the starter, and we are aware of his absence from camp due to a trip to Egypt and the coaching hires, but there is none of that with Fields.

His only focus is football.Granted, Aaron's likely was to, but there was a lot of "other stuff" that came with it, and you can tell by Glenn's words that he is glad with the decision to move on from the four-time MVP winner, who is now in Pittsburgh.But we think this might serve as a little bit of motivation for Rodgers when the Steelers face the Jets in 2025.A celebrity quarterback?
