It is the college football playoffs. It is time for a champion to be crowned. The world will see a big-time matchup between a legendary Alabama program led by Nick Saban and Mac Jones going up against a tough Ohio State team led by Justin Fields. It is no surprise now that Trevor Lawerence will go first overall in the 2021 NFL draft, but the second pick is up to scrutiny right now. The Jets own the #2 pick in the draft and many are unsure whether Fields will go there, or if they will draft an offensive lineman.

I have watched Justin Fields have his ups and downs this season. He started a COVID-19 riddled season with an electric 3-0 start where he performed at a high-level. Some were even whispering about Fields having the Heisman trophy locked up. Sadly for Fields, he struggled in his last three games of the regular season. He threw for three interceptions against Big-10 rival Indiana. While Ohio State went undefeated, he did not perform at the high levels that he was earlier in the season and seasons prior.

If you are Justin Fields, what can you do to improve your chances at getting picked second overall? The best thing he can do is go out and have a legendary performance against Alabama in the national title game. He could also have a great combine when the draft comes around. He could win over some scouts by showing up at the combine and putting up good numbers in his workouts.

My recommendation to Justin Fields would be to not only play at the highest level in the College Football Championship, but he also needs to win the game. If he can cap off his season with an upset win against a staunch Alabama team, he could improve his odds. He needs to show his ability by running the football as well as throwing it. He needs to convince the Jets he has more potential than Sam Darnold. He could show New York that he can win in a championship situation and that he can create plays with his legs. Darnold has not done those things, so Fields could win them over.

Where should Fields go? Who is going to be the second pick in the draft? What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
