You believe Fields’ biggest weakness is the mental part of his game?
Based on what exactly? Have you ever heard him breakdown plays/situations after games with the media?
Tough to show your mental game when you’re regularly getting your teeth kicked in…
Where Ohio State's Justin Fields goes is one of the biggest mysteries in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft, and whichever team lands him reportedly won't have to worry about his processing speed...

“According to
Albert Breer of The MMQB, Fields "scored at a very high level" when he took the S2 Cognition test that is designed to measure processing traits. One general manager said his score was "extremely high," while Breer noted it was "comparable to Joe Burrow's from last spring."
The Cincinnati Bengals selected Burrow with the No. 1 pick in the 2020
NFL draft.
While there is some extrapolating that has to be done from the test results, it stands to reason that Fields will be able to read defenses and make snap decisions inside the pocket if his processing ability is at such a high level.
The Ohio State product also earned the highest
grade from Pro Football Focus on throws beyond his first read at 90.6. That was well ahead of Clemson's Trevor Lawrence (78.6) and Alabama'a Mac Jones (75.7).”
