Ohio State coach Ryan Day once again came to the defense of quarterback Justin Fields ahead of the 2021 NFL draft:

Ryan Day

Justin’s health, toughness and work ethic have never been an issue and I am incredibly proud of his professionalism and the character he displays on and off the field. The fact that he never missed a game at Ohio State speaks volumes about how he takes care of himself.

This comes after Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Fields has epilepsy, a neurological disorder that can cause seizures.
