It’s not often that a veteran quarterback is willing to help train his replacement, but that’s what Andy Dalton did for the Chicago Bears in 2021. He developed a relationship with Bears quarterback Justin Fields that endured even after he signed with the New Orleans Saints last year, remaining in touch as both passers went their separate ways.
“Andy’s amazing,” Fields said during an appearance on the Pardon My Take Podcast. “I mean, even this year he was texting me after good games that I had and said ‘I saw your game. Great job bro.’ Just his family, his wife, his kids. They’re amazing. Andy and Nick (Foles) they taught me a lot last year just with the life of being an NFL quarterback and he kind of took me under his wing. I’m definitely very appreciative of that and I wish Andy nothing but the best of luck.”
