Justin Fields

Justin Fields is an NFL quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs as of September 12, 2026. The Chiefs’ current roster lists Fields as an active quarterback wearing No. 6. He stands 6 feet 3 inches tall, weighs 227 pounds, was born on March 5, 1999, in Kennesaw, Georgia, and played college football at Ohio State.

Fields entered the NFL after the Chicago Bears selected him 11th overall in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He spent his first three professional seasons in Chicago before joining the Pittsburgh Steelers in a March 2024 trade. He later played for the New York Jets during the 2025 season and joined Kansas City in 2026. These dated affiliations should not be confused with his current team: the Chiefs roster identifies Kansas City as his present club.

Fields is known for a dual-threat quarterback style built around mobility, open-field running ability, and the capacity to extend plays outside the pocket. His athleticism can stress defenses when he escapes pressure or creates opportunities with his legs, while his strong arm allows him to attack downfield. His professional career has included both starting opportunities and changes of team, giving him experience in multiple offensive environments.
