Call it an ESPN on ESPN clash. And the winner by knockout, Kirk Herbstreit.
ESPN’s lead college football analyst took on one of its NFL voices and leveled Dan Orlovsky for comments made about Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields and the upcoming NFL draft.
The issue started when Orlovsky questioned the work ethic of Fields, saying the rumor is the Buckeye QB is the “last guy in, first guy out.” Orlovsky stated that these were not his opinions.
I love a good @danorlovsky7 roast sesh as much as anybody BUT..
I think folks are missing that he was answering my question about “Why the narrative has changed about Fields so much?”
He very assertively said “These are not my opinions”
He then went on to give a potential why pic.twitter.com/Wud0ve4tcI

Orlovsky backpedaled after realizing he created a firestorm, much in the way he did as a Detroit Lions quarterback running out of the back of the end zone.
In regards to Fields….👇🏼 pic.twitter.com/9VgIRyShrB

That didn’t satisfy Herbstreit, himself a former Ohio State QB.
😂😂😂
Absolutely RIDICULOUS.
Even if YOU aren’t saying it…
to pass that along from “people in the know” is reckless and absurd!! Embarrassing!! https://t.co/r0RFSr1B6y— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) April 1, 2021
