Quarterback Justin Fields Becomes 22nd Buckeye To Win Chicago Tribune's Silver Football

Add another award to the resumé.

Star quarterback Justin Fields was presented as the 2020 winner of the Chicago Tribune's Silver Football, an award in existence since 1924 that goes to the best player in the Big Ten.

He received 12 of the 13 possible first-place votes. His receivers garnered attention, too. Garrett Wilson had one first-place vote and Chris Olave picked up two second-place votes.

Fields, a third-year Ohio State quarterback preparing for presumably his final game in college in the national championship, is the third Buckeye in a row to win, following Dwayne Haskins in 2018 and Chase Young in 2019.
