Despite having former MVP Matt Ryan under contract, the Atlanta Falcons could potentially select a quarterback in the 2021 NFL Draft based on the direction of the team’s new general manger and head coach.
With a top-five pick in a draft that has three potential franchise passers, the Falcons will have a shot at Ohio State’s Justin Fields and BYU’s Zach Wilson. After Wilson started to creep up on Fields in mock drafts, the Buckeyes QB put together the best performance of his career against Clemson in the Sugar Bowl.
Fields has six touchdowns, with a couple unbelievable throws, and the game isn’t even over yet. Here are all six of the potential top-five pick’s touchdown passes against Clemson.
