Professional career:
Pre-draft:
Prior to the 2007 NFL Draft, Fields was invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. At his Pro Day in April, Fields measured in at 6-foot-4 7/8 and 236 pounds.
Miami Dolphins:
Fields was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the seventh round (225th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft. The pick used to select Fields was acquired from the St. Louis Rams earlier in the offseason in exchange for punter Donnie Jones. Fields was the first punter drafted by the Dolphins since Brent Bartholomew in 1999 and was the first rookie to handle punting duties for the team on a full-time basis since Reggie Roby in 1983. On May 24, the Dolphins signed Fields to a four-year contract.
Fields handled punting duties for the Dolphins during all 16 games of his rookie season. His 77 punts averaged 43.2 yards in length, with 10 of them landing inside the opponent's 20-yard line. He also served as the holder on field goals and extra points. His gross average ranked seventh in the AFC and led all four rookie punters in the NFL that season and has improved in all facets of his game every season since.
During the 2008 offseason, it was reported that new Dolphins Vice President Bill Parcells "absolutely loves Brandon Fields." The team did not pursue competition for him that offseason or since.
On December 27, 2013, the NFL announced Fields as a selection for the 2014 Pro Bowl.
