2019 Heisman Trophy: NFL draft projections for all 4 finalists

See how this year’s Heisman Trophy finalists project as NFL draft prospects

Justin Fields | QB | Ohio State

Fields is only a true sophomore, so he isn’t eligible for the 2020 draft. That said, though, his performance this year indicates he could be high in demand when the 2021 draft rolls around.

The 6-foot-3, 223-pound Fields threw for 40 touchdowns and rushed for 10 touchdowns while throwing just one interception, a feat accomplished by no quarterback in college football history. He finished the season with 3,424 yards on the year, combining his totals through the air and on the ground. With a 67.5 completion percentage and a 92.4 passer rating, he put together a stellar stat line and led the Buckeyes to a 13-0 record heading into the playoffs.

Fields possesses impressive arm strength, flashes of stellar touch on the deep ball and great athletic ability, which should certain entice teams who choose to pass on a quarterback this year. Though he can’t enter the draft this year, he should be high in demand in next year’s class, barring an unforeseen major drop-off.
