Fields flew in seven of his Jets teammates and veteran NFL tight end Irv Smith Jr, whom Fields crossed paths with during their time
together in the NFC North for two seasons. That group included Josh Reynolds, Zack Kuntz, Malachi Corley, Xavier Gipson, Irvin Charles, Johnson, and Quentin Skinner. The workouts took place on Monday, July 14, and Tuesday, July 15. Skinner, one of the Jets teammates that Fields flew down, described everything that they worked on the field: from the different route trees, scenarios, concepts, coverage reads, and how those differed when you lined up in the slot versus the outside. Fields was meticulous with every detail about these workouts to maximize their time together: from what they did to how they executed it. Whether or not Fields succeeds will be determined on the field, but he has taken all the right steps this offseason to put himself in the best position to take advantage of what has been put around him.
