In case you missed it, Ohio State held its pro day today and quarterback Justin Fields was the headliner going through the paces of putting on a show for NFL scouts and executives.
One of those moments came when Fields got down in a starting crouch and exploded down the field in a timed 40-yard dash for all in attendance to wow at. The OSU QB would probably tell you that he should have run faster, but dropping a 4.4 on everyone as a quarterback isn’t too shabby. In fact, that time is the best since Robert Griffin III ran a 4.41 at the 2021 NFL combine.
Fields has already reportedly broken into the 4.3s but it wasn’t on cameras or for any NFL types to see. However, no matter how you look at it, a quarterback his size moving that fast is extremely impressive.

By all accounts and measures (at least the unbiased ones), Fields’ workout Tuesday was extremely impressive and should only boost his NFL draft stock. Now, we wait and see what all the buzz turns into.
