Who says school has to wait until after the NFL?
Without breaking stride from breaking NFL rushing records on his way to returning the Chicago Bears to relevancy, Justin Fields graduated from The Ohio State University today. The former Heisman Trophy finalist with the Buckeyes has now pulled off the remarkable achievement of completing a bachelor's degree while balancing a starting quarterback job at the highest level of professional football.
Reigning All-American Tommy Eichenberg and fellow linebacker Steele Chambers also join Fields today in celebrating educational milestones. The trio represent just under half of the seven past and present Ohio State football players that will graduate following the Spring 2023 semester — along with Kourt Williams II, Jaden McKenzie, Michael O'Shaughnessy, and Bradley Robinson.
