SKULL SESSION: OHIO STATE'S SHORT LAYOFF, MAURICE CLARETT'S THOUGHTS ON J.K. DOBBINS, AND JUSTIN FIELDS' HEISMAN ODDS



Also, third-place should just be Oklahoma Quarterback To Be Named Later +450. I'd sooner bet on that than... over half this list.

I mean, if you'd really like to wager on Mac Jones, you just go ahead and hand me that money instead of lighting it on fire. It's probably the same folks who wagered actual money on Jake Fromm winning the Heisman this season.

And I'm absolutely appalled at the downright disrespect these oddsmakers are showing Chase Young and J.K. Dobbins. They both finish in the top-five this year and they don't even have them on the board before next year – their senior seasons?

SKULL SESSION: JUSTIN FIELDS AND TREVOR LAWRENCE'S QUARTERBACK COACH, OHIO STATE'S HOOPS WALK-ONS, AND FIELDS' BASEBALL BACKGROUND

DIAMOND TO THE GRIDIRON.
Justin Fields wasn't just a football star at Harrison High School, he could have also played college baseball if he wanted, as a top-250 prospect in the nation and the No. 44 shortstop.

Obviously, he chose football – and millions of Buckeye fans are eternally grateful – but his baseball past helps him even today.

“I think a lot of good quarterbacks played baseball before, so I’m just glad my dad had me play it as a kid,” Fields said.

...

“He’s always utilized his legs to get in a position to take ground balls,” said Veal, an Atlanta-based trainer who played quarterback at Arizona from 1987-90. "He’s always used his legs to pitch. He always utilized his legs to hit. So the carryover was kind of elementary for him.

“So when we started working as a quarterback, we just worked on his drops, his sets and learning to drive the ball with his legs and his hips and his core.”

I remember seeing a stat that the vast, vast majority of players Urban Meyer recruited played multiple sports in high school and didn't just specialize in one. It's something he actively pushed for among his prospects, because he and his staff felt that multiple sports at a younger age led to a much more well-rounded and healthy athlete than specialization would.

Plus, it's not like the skills don't carry over anyway, as we can clearly see with Fields.
