BOSTON (CBS) — The New England Patriots are going to take another look at Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields later this week. And this time, it sounds like they’re sending a lot more than just one of the team’s scouts. Fields is set to throw again in Columbus on Wednesday, and the Patriots and 49ers are the only two teams committed for the showcase at the moment, according to SI’s Albert Breer. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels could be the one leading Fields’ workout for New England this time around, according to Breer: READ MORE: Taylor Hall Just Wants To Help The Bruins Win Any Way He Can San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch are expected to lead the Niners’ contingent to Ohio State (and North Dakota State too).

OPINION: Every athlete should watch game film
A couple of weeks ago, I attended two virtual press conferences for sports teams here at the University of Arizona. I did not expect them to be any different, as I have covered many press conferences before this. While I was at the first press conference, one of the players was asked a question about watching game film, and their answer shocked me.

When the press conference was over, I was in total disbelief of what I had just heard. How can you not watch film on other teams? The reason the film is there is so your team can gain an advantage against your opponent. It was refreshing to attend the next press conference though because the athlete I talked to spoke of the importance of watching film on other teams. Since the athlete brought it up first, I leaped at the opportunity and asked them if … [Read more...] about OPINION: Every athlete should watch game film
