What we say

You have to respect what McShay says because he lives and breathes this stuff. However, it’s hard to believe someone that played against the level of competition that Fields did would fall down to the fourth-best quarterback in the draft. McShay now has Lawrence, BYU’s Zach Wilson, and North Dakota State’s Trey Lance ranked ahead of the former Heisman finalist.

With the physical tools Fields has, and the game tape he’s put out there as a body of work, I find it hard to believe he’s not still a top three signal-caller in this draft class and I think that will show when it’s all said and done. Especially considering the leadership and toughness he has shown working through injury.
