With each game and each offseason workout, he’s building not just his skills, but also his confidence. It’s still early in his journey, but Devin Fields is setting the tone for what’s to come. He’s not waiting for the future to find him, he’s actively building it now. And if his current mindset is any indication, he’ll be more than ready when his time comes.
