By John Buhler
Former Ohio State football star Justin Fields has signed his first huge endorsement deal.
Expected to go around the top five picks of the 2021 NFL Draft, former Ohio State football standout Justin Fields has signed with C4 Energy, representing his first endorsement deal.
“It’s an honor to be part of a brand like C4® Energy. The team atmosphere and the passion for their brand is what meant the most to me,” said Fields in a press release. “C4® Energy has been a part of my life since I started training and helped propel me to where I am today, which is why I chose to partner with them for my first endorsement deal. I look forward to sharing my love for the brand and have C4® Energy continue to be part of my journey on and off the field.”
Fields joins actor Kevin Hart, New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball and Los Angeles Sparks guard Te’a Cooper as endorsers of C4 Energy in recent months.
“Justin Fields is exactly the type of athlete we strive to work with here at C4® Energy,” says Rajaa Grar, Chief Digital Officer. “He has exemplified true dedication, hard work, and determination throughout his journey to the NFL, has battled challenges along the way, and still remains a positive force within the League. We can’t wait to cheer him and his new teammates on with the rest of the C4® Energy family.”
Fields is expected to be one of the first quarterbacks picked in the NFL Draft
Fields is expected to go as high as No. 3 to the San Francisco 49ers as the third quarterback taken this spring after Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence and BYU’s Zach Wilson to the Jacksonville Jaguars and the New York Jets, respectively.
Fields could also end up with teams like his hometown Atlanta Falcons, the Denver Broncos or the New England Patriots.
From a talent standpoint, Fields could be some version of Steve Young or Deshaun Watson on the gridiron. He was a former five-star coming out of high school. After beginning his career at Georgia before transferring to Ohio State for his final two years, Fields has shown he has the talent and work ethic to develop into a superstar.
