Justin Fields one-ups Aaron Rodgers, owns entire state of Wisconsin

It turns out Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields isn’t as hated in Wisconsin as people might have thought. 

When Justin Fields was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears last year, Green Bay Packers fans were trolling him left and right. They welcomed him to the rivalry by showing him plenty of hate.

As it turns out, though, it looks like people in Wisconsin aren’t as big of Fields haters as people imagined. The results are in, with Fields being the No. 1 jersey seller in Wisconsin from Lids this season. More than Aaron Rodgers?

Justin Fields high jersey sales in Wisconsin really is surprising

You would have thought that either Rodgers or wide receiver Davante Adams would have been the No. 1 jersey seller. Rodgers recorded another MVP-caliber season, while Adams solidified himself as one of the best wide receivers in the game.

Both players are loved by the Green Bay faithful, with their fans hoping they don’t leave Green Bay this offseason. Despite that, Fields was surprisingly the No. 1 jersey seller in the state. Again, this comes as a complete and total surprise.

Fields ended up taking over the starting job from Andy Dalton midway through the year. Chicago fans were begging former head coach Matt Nagy to make the switch. Fields impressed at times, but he certainly looked like a rookie on plenty of plays as well.

Could these jersey results be a sign that Green Bay supporters think Rodgers and Adams won’t be back next fall? Think about it, why would they buy their jerseys if they’re not even going to be on the roster come Week 1 next September. Whatever the reason, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst will hope that Fields isn’t the No. 1 seller in Wisconsin at this point next year.
