Breaking news: Justin Fields is still fast.
He proved it plenty of times over the past two years as Ohio State's quarterback, rushing for 867 yards across the 2019 and 2020 seasons. And now, he just proved it in front of NFL coaches, executives and scouts.
Fields clocked an unofficial 4.44-second 40-yard dash at the Buckeyes' pro day on Tuesday afternoon.

One scout in attendance told Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer that they had Fields at 4.43 seconds.
A second scout there had Ohio State QB Justin Fields at 4.43. That's BLAZING fast for a quarterback his size. https://t.co/WJbIomDdGd

Needless to say, athleticism isn't a concern for the former Buckeye signal-caller.
