The starting quarterback for the New York Jets, Justin Fields, recently explained to the media what has helped renew his outlook on life and his career: his “low-key addiction” to reading the Bible.
The 26-year-old was asked about what has helped him in making a fresh start with the Jets, taking over this year for veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
“Really getting closer to God, like I said, my relationship, me reading the Bible every day, and if I’m being real, there are some great lines and great wisdom that I didn’t even know of. So I’m low-key addicted to getting in my Bible every day just because I learn something new and I’m able to apply it in my everyday life,” said Fields.
“I wish I would have started earlier. So I encourage you all to go read a little bit. Start in Proverbs and move on from there,” Fields added.
Out of Ohio State, Fields signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Jets after playing on the Pittsburgh Steelers last year.
