So I think that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to pursue.”<\/p>\n The speedster already helps others through his Justin Fields<\/a> Foundation and faith has helped him navigate life as a pro athlete.<\/p>\n \u201cI would say I just kind of got like this just the past six months,\u201d Fields said of reading the Bible in August. \u201cI\u2019m glad I\u2019ve grown out of that stage, and I\u2019m glad that the only approval I need is from my teammates, my coaches and God, ultimately.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m being real \u2014 there\u2019s some great lines and great wisdom that I didn\u2019t even know of.<\/p>\n 3<\/p>\n Fields is set to play for his fourth franchise in 2026Credit: Getty 3<\/p>\n Smith flopped in Las Vegas but will have another roll of the dice with the JetsCredit: Getty<\/p>\n “I\u2019m low-key addicted to getting in my Bible each and every day just because I learn something new every day and I\u2019m able to apply it in my everyday life.<\/p>\n “I was sleeping on reading the Bible earlier in my life, and I wish I would\u2019ve started earlier.
