Ryan Day said “it’s an exciting time to be a quarterback or receiver at Ohio State” after Justin Fields became Ohio State's second top-15 pick at quarterback in three years.
It is the opinion among silly people that Ohio State is conspicuously and historically bad at producing NFL quarterbacks. That perception is about to change.
Chicago general manager Ryan Pace said the Bears “feel really fortunate” they were able to trade up for Justin Fields, who impressed them both on and off the field.
Justin Fields is headed to the Chicago Bears as the No. 11 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, becoming Ohio State's third first-round pick at the quarterback position.
In 1921, the Buckeyes played one last season at Ohio Field as Ohio Stadium construction launched. On the field, OSU lost to Oberlin but beat Michigan to finish 5-2.
Justin Fields' plan to play in the NFL should officially come true on Thursday night, while many more Buckeyes are expected to be drafted on Friday and Saturday.
