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. Advertisement 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. Advertisement 'He's not trying to be the celebrity quarterback, he's just trying to be himself,' Glenn said. '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. 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. Advertisement 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? There's your bulletin board material.

Watch: Trailer for Netflix series shows former Vikings QB Kirk Cousins' 2024 season
Netflix has slowly emerged as the premier place for in-depth, behind-the-scenes looks at the NFL, with its series Wide Receiver and Quarterback. On Monday, the trailer for their new season of Quarterback was released, and within it, there were some interesting parts that Vikings fans may find worth watching. While he may not be with the team anymore, Kirk Cousins remains in the hearts and minds of Minnesota fans. Cousins left the team in free agency in 2024 when he signed with the Atlanta Falcons. The show covers that season and will be covered, and as the trailer shows, it will include the shock of the Falcons selecting Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Cousin gives his reaction to the pick in the trailer, which is shortened, but his entire thoughts will be seen on the show. Also on the show, for Vikings fans, is an in-depth viewing of the return of Cousins to Minnesota in 2024. The Falcons lost to the Vikings, so they can enjoy that game again, as well as Justin Jefferson leaving Justin Simmons looking confused on his long touchdown in the game. It may not directly have a Vikings focus, but there is still a lot for the fans to enjoy.
