Justin Fields, arguably the most talented quarterback in Ohio State’s history, announced on Monday he will enter this spring’s NFL draft, forgoing his remaining college eligibility.
The decision had long been anticipated as he is expected to be one of the top selections in the draft behind Clemson star Trevor Lawrence, who is favored to be the No. 1 overall pick and has long been billed as the best passing prospect since Andrew Luck.
"Growing up, my dream was to one day play the game that I love at the highest level," he wrote in a graphic shared on his Twitter account. "Now thanks to God's grace and mercy, along with the help of you all, I am in a position to turn that dream into reality."
Earlier this month, Fields led the Buckeyes to the College Football Playoff championship game, their second-ever appearance in the final of the four-team postseason after he delivered a heroic effort in the Sugar Bowl.
