WR Chris Fields (official thread)

Good for fields, though i wonder if this means going forward if he's the starter for the season or just going into summer. Its going to be a great battle for the slot position against hall, and when marshall and wilson hit campus

I would think that under Urban's philosophy that "starter" means "for today" and we'll see how tomorrow goes.

Fields is now a veteran player and starting to make a statement as a play maker. I love the veteran leadership we have at the receiver position. Fields, Smith and Brown are all burners and perhaps the fastest starting line-up we have ever had along with Ginn, Gonzalez, etc.

Ohio State football: Chris Fields' offseason improvement shows in opener
By John Kampf
Posted: 09/02/13

COLUMBUS - Chris Fields says he is thinking about a career in real estate following his playing days at Ohio State.
The receiver from Painesville might want to give sports psychology a shot.
A former stand out for the Harvey Red Raiders, Fields said he often sees young players struggle with the transition to college football - a "reality check," he calls it, when highly ranked teenagers come to Columbus expecting to pick up where they left off in high school.
He gladly takes them under his wing.
"Hey, this competition is heavy. You've got to stick with it and stay positive," Fields said he tells young players who struggle early on. "There's a lot of stress that goes into this, and a lot of players quit on themselves."

Fields becoming familiar name for OSU
September, 3, 2013
By Austin Ward | ESPN.com

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The role of unlikely hero certainly has its perks.

There’s the lasting memory of a play that won’t be forgotten, along with the outpouring of admiration from a fan base that makes sure to show its appreciation and the simple fact that few people will ever know the rush of grabbing a game-winning touchdown.

Chris Fields, who had just 15 catches in his Ohio State career before this season, caught two touchdown passes against Buffalo.
But there is one part of the moniker that ensures it’s a bit of a backhanded compliment, since somebody like Ohio State receiver Chris Fields can’t come out of nowhere to save the day and a perfect record against Purdue unless he hasn’t been around to do much before then.

“It’s just a matter of opportunity,” Fields said. “You get an opportunity on the field to make a play, you make a play.

“A lot of people sleep on people sometimes, and it’s OK. You know, they’re going to wake up some day.”

The Buckeyes might still be suffering through nightmares without the late heroics of Fields a year ago against the Boilermakers, with an unbeaten season about to slip away if not for his ability to slide a pair hands just under a throw from Kenny Guiton for a score that set up a game-tying 2-point conversion in the final seconds.

Fields wound up with 3 catches in the overtime win, and his contributions were perhaps even more unexpected than Guiton’s off the bench since he came into the game without a reception and only made one more for the rest of the season. But after largely fading into the shadows after his bright, shining moment a year ago, the fifth-year senior has now put himself right back in the spotlight with a pair of touchdown catches in Saturday’s opening win over Buffalo.

And given the strong debut and his current place in the starting lineup at H-back, Fields is also in position to shed the element of surprise and instead just become a player No. 2 Ohio State can count on in big moments.

“One of the most improved players on the team,” coach Urban Meyer said. “He’s just playing his tail of and doing a lot of things for us, and he’s doing it all right, too.

“ ... I admire Chris Fields -- he wasn’t in the top 50 [on the roster] for playing a game last year, and he’s really the same talent.”
