Pablo Fields, Justin Fields' dad, joined Peggie Kusinsky and her son on The Sportscaster and Her Son podcast to talk about Justin and his kids.

Gina Tobey, Justin's mother, did a separate interview with Kusinsky, admitting her son wanted to be on American Idol when he was growing up. Gina mentioned Justin got his exceptional singing voice from her.

But Pablo claims Justin can't sing like he used to.

"He can't sing anymore," Pablo said on the podcast. "About six months ago, and I think he tried to sing and I said 'Dang, man you used to be able to sing. You sound terrible now.' And he was like 'Yeah, they want me to use a deep voice when I'm calling out plays.' He said 'I lost it.'"

Pablo and the podcasters broached the subject when asking Pablo about the traits he passed on to Justin. Gina claims the singing. Pablo hilariously took credit for Justin's athleticism.

But football cost Fields his singing voice. And it's fine. Bears fans would likely rather see him on the football field than on the singing stage.
