Jets' Aaron Glenn Continues To Be Impressed With Justin Fields

Speaking to reporters during OTAs on Wednesday, Glenn made it clear just how pleased he was with the stuff Fields has shown both on and off the field.
"You hear about it from other coaches around the league that's been around him, and now that I've been around him for this long, you come to see that he's a man's man, for one, and he's himself," Glenn said. "And again, I like that about him. I like that he's not trying to be, and I'm going to use a (Bill) Parcells deal now, he's not trying to be the celebrity quarterback, he's just trying to be himself.
"And whatever comes with that, it comes with it. So, he's not trying to impress anybody. He's going out there and he's busting his (expletive) trying to be the best quarterback he can be for this team."
Glenn is taking a gamble of sorts in making Fields the quarterback of record in his first year in his Jets tenure. How so? An example, by the numbers: Fields ranks as the worst quarterback in the league during the fourth quarter in the last three seasons combined.

But Fields has also shown improvement as a pocket passer throughout his young career. And New York is banking on those skills catching up with his strong leadership traits ... as a "man's man'' who can win at QB.
