If Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields’ impressive performance against Clemson in the College Football Playoff semifinal wasn’t enough to entice the Detroit Lions to draft him, maybe a resounding endorsement from his former teammate is.
Fields threw six touchdowns for the Buckeyes in a 49-28 win over Trevor Lawrence and the Tigers at the Sugar Bowl on Friday while playing through a ribcage injury. The win qualified Ohio State for the national championship game Monday against Alabama, and it could have improved Fields’ stock for the 2021 NFL draft.
