Here’s what Jeff Okudah said about possible Detroit Lions' draft pick Justin Fields

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.
