I never really looked into the kid because I didn't think there would be a snowballs chance in hell that the Bears could get him.
Sure seems impressive though.... good read.
One overlooked number was the 3.9 GPA Fields carried as a student at Harrison High School in his hometown of Kennesaw, Georgia. Intelligence helps any quarterback, but it proved especially crucial for Fields because of the relatively short time he had to learn the Buckeyes’ offense.
“He’s just a smart young player, and he’s a freak.”
“And maybe a few weeks later, that’s the first book he read. And I remember calling his dad and he read the book over the phone to his dad. He was 3 1/2, reading his first book.”
During his junior year, Fields often helped other students in that chemistry class solve problems. Mockalis remembers him as an honor roll student who “would not back down” from a chemistry question the same way he stood up to opponents in sports.

Why Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields’ intelligence sets him apart
The Buckeye sophomore is a threat both as a runner and a passer, but he has always had the gift of thinking the game in an advanced way.
