Justin Fields was really good last year in his first year as Ohio State’s quarterback. In fact, he was a Heisman finalist and threw 41 touchdowns to only 3 interceptions all year long. He also threw for 3,273 yards. But even with all of those accolades, he still could’ve been more dangerous.
Early in the season, Fields was held back from using his legs as much as he is capable of doing. Even though he still ran for 10 touchdowns a season ago he wasn’t fully let off his leash. The reason for that was to protect him from injury.
