Productive linebacker with good feel for blocking schemes and where running backs are eventually headed. While Fields' patience prevents him from making ill-advised advances that would pull him out of position, he will need to balance his patience with a more controlled aggressiveness when it comes to playing ahead of play designs. He has the instincts to take more chances and will most assuredly need to due to his lack of desired size and play strength. Fields' inconsistent tackling and below-average third-down potential could further hurt his chances if he doesn't improve his aggression level against the run.
