Justin Fields is hoping to make one more final good impression before the NFL Draft in two weeks.
The Ohio State quarterback is throwing in a second pro day on Wednesday, which will reportedly include the Patriots, 49ers and Atlanta Falcons in attendance.
The latter team is perhaps the most intriguing, as the Falcons hold the fourth overall pick in the draft — a pick they have reportedly been shopping.
Yet, the Falcons have attended every quarterback’s pro day and plant to have the full allotment of three staffers to watch Fields, according to SI’s Albert Breer.
There has been some chatter recently that the Falcons should seek to find Matt Ryan’s replacement in the draft.
With Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson presumed to go No. 1 and 2 overall, respectively, Atlanta may need to decide if they think one of Fields, Trey Lance or Mac Jones could be the franchise quarterback.
Of course, only two of those quarterbacks may be available when the Falcons are on the clock.
The 49ers are likely to take a quarterback with the third pick, but all three of the aforementioned quarterbacks have been speculated as possibilities for San Francisco.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Fields and Lance will be incorporating “drills and throws Kyle Shanahan uses in practice.”
It could very well mean that both of the quarterbacks are hoping to grab the attention of the 49ers, but it does not necessarily mean the 49ers are choosing between the two of them. Plenty of reports, including from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, have also linked the Niners to Jones.
The Patriots’ presence, much like the 49ers, is expected but if the Falcons indeed plan to take a quarterback with the No. 4 pick it is hard to imagine the next best quarterback on the board falling to them with the No. 15 pick.
The Patriots could either trade up if their quarterback is still available, or opt to go in a different direction.
Regardless, if four quarterbacks are selected within the first four picks, it would be an unprecedented occasion in NFL Draft history.
