rayzor Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Justin Fields revealed epilepsy battle with teams before 2021 NFL Draft By Mollie Walker April 21, 2021 | 4:06pm | Updated "Justin Fields, one of the top quarterbacks available in the 2021 NFL Draft, revealed to teams during the pre-draft process that he is managing epilepsy, NFL Network reported Wednesday. The Ohio State product has reportedly not been affected on the football field by the neurological condition, which can cause seizures. The report also says his symptoms have been less frequent in recent years and doctors believe he’ll outgrow it as his older family members have. Fields, who finished the 2020 season as the Big Ten’s Offensive Player of the Year and a unanimous first-team all-conference selection, is expected to be at least a top-five pick in the draft later this month. The Jets, who own the No. 2 pick, have looked into Fields but are expected to take quarterback Zach Wilson out of BYU. The intrigue will begin at the No. 3 spot where the 49ers are planning to select a quarterback with Fields, Trey Lance and Mac Jones all possibilities. The 22-year-old led the Buckeyes to an undefeated regular season and Big Ten championship in 2020. Fields engineered an upset of Clemson in the playoffs with a brilliant performance before the Buckeyes fell to Alabama in the national title game. Fields came in seventh place in the Heisman Trophy voting after entering the 2020 season as a leading candidate." I wonder how much this will affect his draft position.

Popular Post jetstream23 Posted April 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2021 Shouldn't affect his draft position anymore than Wilson's is affected by the shoulder or his ADHD in my opinion. If the doctors give him a thumbs up and it's never affected him before then it just seems like a medical disclosure he needed to make simply because of the diagnosis and being forthcoming. If anyone anywhere has ever heard or reported that Fields had an epileptic seizure either on the field, at school, in the community, while standing on a street corner or while walking his dog I've certainly never heard about it. To me, this seems like a bit of a nothing burger. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
