The 49ers and Patriots have committed to attend Justin Fields’ second pro day, according to Albert Breer of The MMQB. Fields’ showcase has been set for April 14th at Ohio State, while fellow quarterback Trey Lance will take the field on April 19th.

Fields and Lance plan to have the NFL staffers run the throwing sessions, rather than their throwing coaches. Both players are eager to show that they can adapt to any system — specifically, the 49ers’ system, because they hold the No. 3 overall pick. In recent weeks, the buzz out of SF has largely pointed to Mac Jones, the Alabama quarterback who may be viewed as a safer choice than Lance or Fields.
The 49ers and Patriots are the only clubs to have committed to Fields’ pro day part two, Breer hears. Ideally, Fields would probably like a larger group, one that includes teams like the Bears. The Bears are currently out of range for this year’s top five QBs, but they could trade up as high as No. 4 to find a younger alternative to new QB Andy Dalton.
Niners brass skipped Fields’ first pro day, opting instead to see Jones at Alabama. However, assistant GM Adam Peters was still on hand, a sign that they still have Fields in consideration.
I’m excited for the 2-3 years worth of articles how Shanahan’s 2nd hand pick QB just doesn’t quite fit ‘his offense’.
I could really, really see New England making a move for Fields. The Cam offense could translate pretty easily to Fields, and something about Fields seems to fit New England. Their attending his pro day could just be scouting, but it seems to fit-especially since the 9ers will likely take Mac Jones, who seems like McDaniels’ previous preference at QB. It’s really a gut instinct, but something seems to fit for me. I will say though that the last time McDaniels got to pick a QB, he traded up for Tebow. He almost moved to Indy, who had a quarterback that could move in Andrew Luck, and the Pats re-signed Newton this year. I think McDaniels does like a QB with mobility, but it could just be coincidental.
I completely agree with the translation between Cam and Fields. There are many parallels. Their offense would smoothly flow from one to the other. Field’s is a leader on the field and it doesn’t get talked about nearly enough. I can also see Cam relishing the idea of bringing Fields along. Not every Veteran QB is selfish about the realization their job as stater is entitled to them. Cam has that character.
Agreed. Despite the opinions on Cam’s character, he does take pride in being a good teammate-at least he does these days. I would encourage anyone with the opportunity to watch the Panthers’ All or Nothing from a couple of years ago and form their own conclusions regarding Cam’s character as a teammate.
