Analysis by Shawn Childs, from his 2026 guide — his words, unedited.
Fields rides into Kansas City with a 16-37 record, while being miles away from his first-round price point (11th overall) in the 2021 NFL Draft. His ability to run adds another dimension to the Chiefs’ offense if they decide to use him in goal-line packages. He provides experience at the quarterback position, with a chance to start one or two games to open 2026. Kansas City’s coaching staff should get the most out of his talent.
