CBS Sports names Ohio State’s Justin Fields best college football quarterback playmaker

Barrett Sallee of CBS Sports has named Ohio State’s Justin Fields as the best returning playmaker at the quarterback position.

Nobody needs to tell Ohio State fans and coaches how dynamic quarterback Justin Fields can be. He gets labeled a dual-threat quarterback, and that certainly applies, but it’s his ability to sling the ball around the football field that sets everything up.

It’s hard to believe that Fields put up some similar numbers to what Dwayne Haskins did just a season before, all with just a few months to learn a new offense and get acclimated to a new culture in Columbus. Truth be known, his numbers on the ground would have probably been better had he not been banged up part of the year.

He should be 100 percent healthy heading into this fall, so look for a more dangerous attack on the ground to go with what he can do through the air.

Others around the country have taken notice too. In fact, CBS Sports’ Barrett Sallee named the best playmaker at every position entering the 2020 season, and he singled out Fields as the best guy to watch under center.
