As he prepared to jump from Ohio State to the NFL, Justin Fields made sure to study Lamar Jackson last season.
Now, he gets an in-person lesson.
Jackson and the AFC North-leading Baltimore Ravens look to shake off a tough loss when they visit Fields and the Chicago Bears in a matchup between teams with dual-threat quarterbacks.
“Last year, when I was in college, I would turn on his highlights and study how he ran the read option, how his feet were and how he kind of got a running start,” Fields said. “When he runs the read option, he staggers his feet so he can, like, be already in a running position to run the ball after he’s reading the defensive ends.
