It’s been a while since we’ve seen Ohio State quarterback doing his thing on a football field, but we were reminded that he’s got all kinds of freakish physical abilities today.
The Buckeyes held their NFL pro day today and Fields may have been a part of fourteen OSU players working out in front of NFL scouts and executives, but there’s no questioning he was the main story. And he didn’t disappoint.
Fields showed touch, poise, arm strength, and a varied arsenal with his ability to spin the ball in front of the cameras, suits, and khakis. He astonished almost everyone with his drop of the mic 65-yard off-balance heave to end things.
During and after his workout, Twitter was ablaze we’ve got some of the best moments on the social media platform to share with you.

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

This Justin Fields fellow appears to be very good. Reminds me of the Justin Fields that played football very well at Ohio State

It sounds like the NFL is learning what #OhioState fans already knew bout Justin Fields.

In the context of what pro days are/ what they aren’t, Justin Fields was 🔥 today. Even more importantly, what I loved most was what his coaches said about Justin and where he is at in his development. With good #NFL staff, he is going to be a star. Super impressive young man.

Only 1st-Round QB to run a faster 40 time at the Combine since 2006 than Justin Fields’ unofficial 4.44 today was Robert Griffin III, who ran a 4.41 at the 2012 Combine. https://t.co/dDLMkPgtwA

Don’t mention Justin Fields and Mac Jones in the same sentence. They aren’t on the same level as prospects. Mac Jones is a GOOD prospect. He ain’t Fields. And it’s ridiculous this even has to be said. The talent is not comparable. Ridiculous. Coach him up Kyle!

I’ll say one thing.. I thought Mac Jones threw well. Missed a bunch of deep shots early. Had to settle down and did. Threw a couple nice deep shots on the move. But going from him to Justin Fields.. this is different lol. Ball just jumps out of Fields hand different. Easy

Justin Fields put on a clinic 👀 Scouts are obviously impressed

Nothing Justin Fields does today should surprise you if you actually watched every game he played for the last two years.
— Andrew Lind (@AndrewMLind) March 30, 2021
I will die on the hill that Justin Fields is closer to Trevor Lawrence than any other QB in this class is to Justin Fields. https://t.co/i9gfdIgkkS

I'm available for hire, if you're looking to replace someone who was surprised by Justin Fields's workout today. Just saying.

QB Justin Fields killed it today, but he says he’ll happily throw again next month if #49ers brass (or anyone else) want to see him in person. “It really doesn’t just happen one time,” he tells me of not needing to stand on today. “I want to show I do the same thing everyday.”
— Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) March 30, 2021
That was impressive! #JustinFIelds
— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) March 30, 2021
Perhaps the #49ers traded up to third overall before Justin Fields’ Pro Day because they knew he’d put on a show and the cost for that spot would only go up. Whether he’s their guy or not, Fields’ performance today was very impressive.
New thought: Does Fields make it to three?
