Justin Fields Runs 4.44-Second 40-Yard Dash
4 years agoOhio State quarterback Justin Fields was clocked at a 4.44-second 40-yard dash at his school's Pro Day on Tuesday. The only first-round quarterback to run a faster 40-yard dash at the combine since 2006 than Fields' unofficial 4.44-second time was Robert Griffin III. Griffin ran a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at the 2012 combine. Fields, who stands at 6-foot-3, 228 pounds, is expected to be taken in the first round in next month's NFL draft, and he could go within the top-five picks. Along with Fields, Clemson's Trevor Lawrence, BYU's Zach Wilson, Alabama's Mac Jones and North Dakota State's Trey Lance are also expected to be selected in the first round. Fields threw for 5,373 yards, 63 touchdowns and nine interceptions in two seasons at Ohio State after starting his career at Georgia.
