When you think of Justin Fields’ greatest strengths and what got him to where he is today, a few things might come to mind. His arm strength, his mobility, his leadership. Yeah, yeah, we know all of that. Obviously those things all contributed to his success, but what is the one thing that really changed his life? The switch to a vegan diet? The titles and accolades? His family? Okay, I can’t really argue with that one, but what I’m really talking about is Uno Fields — who I think more than qualifies as part of his family.
Now, if you live under a rock and don’t know who I am talking about, Uno is Justin’s French bulldog. More accurately, as Justin put it during his introductory press conference with the Chicago Bears, “He’s my best friend.”
Tell me that isn’t the cutest thing you’ve heard all day. And as cute as the name is, Justin isn’t even the one who came up with it; his teammates told him that he should name his new puppy “Uno”, since Justin wore No. 1 at Ohio State — and will with the Bears. The name stuck, and Justin made an Instagram page for his dog, too. I highly recommend you give it a follow @unofields. He doesn’t post very often, but when he does, it will put a smile on your face. Also, don’t feel bad about yourself and your social media following, but Uno probably has about 49,000 more Insta followers than you do. Well deserved in my opinion, however.
