College GameDay, a renowned sports show, is set to make a significant comeback with a recent Ohio State football star. This week's broadcast from Columbus is about to get an extra dose of excitement as ESPN announced the inclusion of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields. Fields, who had a remarkable tenure with the Buckeyes from 2019 to 2020, was drafted 11th overall by the Chicago Bears in 2021. His impact on the team during his time was nothing short of extraordinary.

Justin Fields' Football Journey

In 2019, as a sophomore, Fields finished third in Heisman voting after transferring from Georgia. This was his first year as a starter, and he led the Buckeyes to great heights. The following year, he guided Ohio State to the College Football Playoff National Championship against Alabama. During his brief but impactful Buckeye career, Fields showcased his exceptional skills. He threw for an impressive 5,373 yards, ran for 867 yards, and scored a total of 78 touchdowns with just 9 interceptions. This remarkable performance led the Buckeyes to an outstanding combined record of 20-2. They won the Big Ten Championship in both of his seasons as a starter and achieved a significant victory by beating Clemson in the CFP semifinal game at the Sugar Bowl during the 2020 season.

Fields' Time in Chicago

Fields spent 3 seasons in Chicago, where he started 44 games. His presence on the field had a significant impact on the team. However, prior to the 2024 season, he was dealt to Pittsburgh. His journey from Ohio State to the NFL and now to another team showcases his versatility and talent.
