Justin Skyler Fields (born March 5, 1999) is an American professional football quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). Following a stint with the Georgia Bulldogs, he played college football for the Ohio State Buckeyes, twice winning Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year between 2019 and 2020 and appearing in the 2021 National Championship Game.

Fields was selected in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft by the Chicago Bears, setting the single-game regular season record for quarterback rushing yards and becoming the third NFL quarterback to have a 1,000-yard rushing season. His tenure was also marked by inconsistent play and few wins, leading to him being traded in 2024 to the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he mostly served as a backup. Fields became the starter of the New York Jets the following year, but struggled before his season was cut short by injury. After the season, he was traded to the Chiefs.
