Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields is a hot topic for the upcoming NFL Draft. While many believe he should be drafted #3 overall by the 49ers, others think he’ll fall, and will need time to develop in the league. However, a new scary revelation might be a red flag for potential teams.

Justin Fields has confirmed that he is managing epilepsy.

As Ian Rapoport mentioned, Fields has been able to play through this condition in the past, and it has not affected him on the field (to our knowledge).

It is also not clear the extent of the condition, or the severity of the potential side affects.

Hopefully Justin Fields gets past this disorder, and can play a long, successful career in the NFL without having to worry about it.
