A business decision. That’s what Justin Fields called it over a year ago.
Neither he nor Ryan Day has ever tried to hide from the reasons behind Fields’ decision to transfer from Georgia to Ohio State. The first day Fields was trotted onto the indoor practice field at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, he didn’t mince his words when asked why he had chosen to become a Buckeye.
“Coach Day, he’s been in the NFL,” Fields said on Feb. 6, 2019. “He knows what it takes to get quarterbacks to the NFL.”
In a sense, it was a perfect match.
