Mark Fields, CB, Clemson #2
5096, 180, 4.52
Notes: From Charlotte, NC. Son of former Washington State and Saints-Panthers NFL linebacker Mark Fields, who was a first-round pick in 1995. Played sparingly in 2015 after suffering a broken finger just prior to the start of the season, notching 3 tackles. Had 13 tackles, 3 PBU and 1 INT in 13 games (one start) in 2016. Credited with 20 tackles, 2 PBU in 8 games (4 starts) in 2017; missed 6 games due to foot injury.
Positives: NFL bloodlines. Talented cover skills, with good combination of speed, quickness and physicality.
Negatives: Inconsistent. Appears to lose focus and intensity at times.
Summary: Has NFL ability and has been compared to former Clemson CB Mackensie Alexander, but has yet to show it consistently.
