Veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor threw his support behind Justin Fields as starter for the New York Jets.

Taylor spent last year in New York as the backup to Aaron Rodgers. When the Jets cut Rodgers early in the offseason, Taylor was the next man up. But New York has signed Justin Fields in free agency and penciled him in as the team’s starter. In an interview with ESPN, Taylor said he would do whatever it takes to help the team win but would still prepare like the starter.
