Justin Fields’ arrival in Chicago has generated a ton of buzz among the Bears fan base and across the NFL. So much so that Fields occupied three of the top five spots in jersey sales at one point.

Fields has star potential, which could give the Bears something they haven’t had in their storied history — a star franchise quarterback. In fact, Fields is on his way to becoming a marketing star for the league — and he hasn’t even taken a regular-season snap for Chicago.

Fields is among those rookies that have been named to NFLPA’s Rookie Premiere Class of 2021, which gives the game’s most marketable rookies a chance to learn the business of football and jumpstart their endorsement careers.

Rookie Premiere is an exclusive trading card and marketing event alongside Panini America. Players are selected to the Rookie Premiere class based on position, college performance and draft status, along with their projected overall marketability and demand, which impact a rookie’s trading card value.

The NFLPA and Panini America released a class announcement video featuring Fields:
