Former Ohio State Quarterback Justin Fields To Throw Again For NFL Teams

Workout was requested by the San Francisco 49ers, who hold the No. 3 overall pick in the draft.

According to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields will hold a second pro day for NFL personnel on April 14.

Ohio State QB Justin Fields will throw for NFL teams again on April 14… and this time, #49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch are expected to attend. Both were in Tuscaloosa watching #Bama QB Mac Jones (and others) while Fields had his first Pro Day.

The workout was reportedly requested by the San Francisco 49ers – who hold the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft – after head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch skipped the the Buckeyes’ first pro day on March 30 in order to attend Alabama’s second pro day, where they watched quarterback Mac Jones throw.

It’s unclear how many teams plan to attend Fields’ workout, which falls on the same day that former cornerback Shaun Wade will hold his own pro day at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, or if any of Ohio State’s other draft-eligible prospects will participate.

However, the NFL is not allowing private workouts this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, and it’s expected that most – if not all 32 – teams will attend the Buckeyes’ second pro day, which is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. 

As for Fields' first pro day workout, Ohio State released a behind the scenes look at his performance, which can be seen below.
