Colin Kaepernick’s efficiency at a recent practice intrigued Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields. The Bears QB thought Kaepernick did well in a passing exercise, according to Michael David Smith of ProFootballTalk. Fields revealed that both he and Kaepernick share a personal quarterback instructor which contributed to the two of them connecting, and Fields attending one of Kaepernick’s workouts.

He mentions, “That was actually my first time meeting him. It was cool meeting him, of course. He’s an icon. It was awesome just to meet him and work with him. He looked pretty good. He looked good, yeah.”

The Bears’ 2nd-year quarterback was in Atlanta training out together with Bears colleagues Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet, as well as ace quarterback guru Quincy Avery.
