NFL players are some of the wealthiest people on planet Earth, and most like to make very outlandish purchases to show off the money they’re making while achieving their lifelong dreams.
Not all NFL players are all about showing it all off, though. For example, Justin Jefferson was recently mentioned after he continued to live in his $400,000 home after becoming the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
And now, Justin Fields has joined the list of NFL players who don’t spend money to flaunt their wealth. In an interview with @GOATfarmmedia, he recently revealed that he only buys cheap jewelry from Amazon.
While some NFL fans may question his decision, there’s no doubt that the Steelers signal-caller has made a very smart financial decision, and some of the feedback has been pretty positive, praising Fields for his efforts.
The former Chicago Bears QB1 pointed out that “it all shines the same,” which had some fans calling the 11th overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft smart for his off-the-field purchases so far through his young career.
Another fan even added that the fake jewelry looks no different than the real stuff, and no one would expect anything because Fields has made just over $15.5 million in career earnings so far.
One fan even said they’re massive fans of the Steelers’ new and assumed QB2 after stating that the move is “smart, and no one should shame him for this.”
While most of what Fields buys off the field shouldn’t affect how the quarterback plays, having fake jewelry may be an indicator of his mental maturity, and it could speak to how he decides to play things on the field. It may be a stretch, but we’ll have to wait and see when Fields gets his first action with the Steelers in 2024.
