Justin Fields visits gun shot victim - makes his life
Chicago’s new quarterback Justin Fields has endeared himself to Bears and football everywhere after a beautiful act of kindness toward a Bears fan who nearly lost his life last month.
Scott Morrow, a 41-year-old Chicago resident, was walking down the street when he was shot in the back. While being whisked away in an ambulance, Morrow willed himself to live on, he couldn’t pass before witnessing the Bears’ great white hope.
“I thought well…pretty much all of Chicago has gone our whole lives without even having great prospects for a franchise quarterback, I can’t die before seeing Justin Fields take the field,” Morrow told 670 The Score.
“I don’t plan to die before he’s a Hall of Famer.”
After hearing Morrow’s comments and learning about his accident, Fields and his parents visited Morrow at his home, with the rookie handing over a jersey to his new pal.
Morrow has a GoFundMe page set up which will help his recovery after losing his spleen and a kidney during the life-saving operation process.
If Fields plays anywhere close to the level of kindness and compassion he showed this Bears fan, he’ll live long in the hearts and minds of The Windy City faithful.
