Chicago Bears

It's not a certainty yet, and no one will know for sure until next week.

However, it appears Bears quarterback Justin Fields has cracked the top 100 NFL players list put out each year by NFL Media.

Via NFL Films Twitter, the league released a sneak peek of the top 100 players and on it there are highlights of Fields scrambling.

This will be put exclusively on NFL-plus, the latest grab for cash by NFL media as auxiliary platform to NFL.com and NFL Network.

"He's probably the best running quarterback I've seen," Bosa said of Fields in the clip shown. "I think his throwing ability is going to keep getting better."

Bosa would know. Fields had his first 100-yard rushing game against the 49ers in 2021 and then beat them last year in the rain and slop at Soldier Field 19-10. They actually held him to 28 yards rushing in that game but the rain also helped.

The first 10 names on the list are due to come out Monday. There probably wouldn't be a reason to show video of Fields in a preview if he wasn't on that list, unless they had a "best of the rest" segment on it.

They're releasing this information well in advance of last year, when it came out during the middle of preseason. After 91-100, they'll be releasing 10-player groups every weekday through Aug. 3.The full 100 will be featured Aug. 7 on NFL-plus on "The Top 100 Players of 2023: The Top 10."

The list is not one chosen by NFL media but by a vote of the players.
