Justin Fields says Buckeyes will help him get to NFL

COLUMBUS, Ohio - New Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Justin Fields said Wednesday said he picked the Buckeyes as his new home because of the team's offensive success and the probability that will help him get to the NFL.

Fields, a former five-star recruit, left Georgia this December after playing in a back-up role during his freshman season. He declined Wednesday to talk about his reasons for leaving the Bulldogs, but said he considered a few new colleges before making a "business decision" to go to Ohio State and play for new head coach Ryan Day.
