Breaking down every Bears draft pick

A capsule look at the Bears’ 2021 draft class:

Round 1, Pick 11
Justin Fields
Ohio State QB
6-2, 227 pounds
Age: 22

Background: A star high school baseball player and five-star football player in Kennesaw, Ga., 30 miles northwest of Atlanta, Fields stayed in-state to play at Georgia. After one year as the backup, he transferred to Ohio State, where he was simply dominant. He went 20-2 as a starter — both losses were in the playoffs — and threw 63 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
