Justin Fields, who led Ohio State to a 20-2 record and to back-to-back College Football Playoff appearances for the first time in school history, was selected in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. He was the 11th overall pick.
Fields’ selection gives Ohio State a first-round NFL Draft pick for six consecutive seasons – the second-longest active streak among all schools – and increases Ohio State’s No. 1 hold on all-time first-round draft picks to 85.
