The 4-8 Chicago Bears have a bevy of pivotal decisions to make this coming NFL offseason, none more critical than whether to stick with quarterback Justin Fields or draft his replacement (USC’s Caleb Williams?) with one of their two first-round picks in next year’s draft (Chicago currently holds the No. 1 and 4 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft).
In the eyes of “Undisputed” cohost Keyshawn Johnson, Chicago should stick with Fields and select Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to amplify its offense. Why?

Last season, Fields ran for an astounding 1,143 yards and eight touchdowns on an NFL-best 7.1 yards per carry. At the same time, he has completed just 61% of his…
