ohio state justin fields could be drafted by the New York Jets

Justin Fields is currently one of the brightest quarterback prospects in the NFL. The former Buckeyes quarterback is preparing to enter the NFL this coming season.

As he impressed NFL scouts during his time at Ohio State, Fields now preps to join the NFL through the Draft. And he has already established himself as one of the fastest quarterbacks in the class.

Justin Fields took to Twitter to share a video of his dash attempt. Fields put in an impressive showing, completing his 40-yard dash in just 4.41 seconds.

But being the elite competitor that he is, Fields noted that this is just the beginning. He is hard at work to make sure that his dash time comes down to 4.3 seconds by his pro-day.

Fields’ impressive dash time will only further cement the interest that several teams have in him going into this draft. Many expect Fields to be a Top-3 quarterback draft pick this year.

The undisputed first pick in the draft this year will be Trevor Lawrence, as the Clemson quarterback stood out throughout the entirety of the 2020 college football season. However, Fields is still a valuable prospect for whichever team that chooses to pick him this season.

Many expect the New York Jets to select Justin Fields with their 2nd-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. The Jets struggled severely last season, with Sam Darnold being their primary quarterback option.

While Darnold is still at the dawn of his NFL career, it feels like his time in the New York Jets came to an end last season.

However, Fields does have competition in the quarterback group. Zach Wilson is also considered to be a top quarterback prospect in this draft class.

However, Fields’ performances and overall style of play are more suited to the New York Jets, and it looks increasingly likely that the Jets could use their coveted #2 pick to take Fields off the board.

Will Justin Fields get drafted by the New York Jets? Many have recommended to the Jets that they use their valuable draft pick to select the Buckeyes quarterback.

However, the Jets are yet to decide who they are going to select with their pick. The clocks running down and the time to make the decision is upon them as the NFL Draft barely a month away.
