Guy Fields never had a really rough season in college. Ever since he got recruited as a 4-star recruit by his Illinois home town university he had it pretty good. For his three seasons in Northwestern they never had a losing season or a particularly rough set of games. So in his college career adversity wasn’t known to him, especially in his final season when they won the Pinstripe bowl on the back of a pick-six by Fields.
When he was drafted by Dallas, a perennial playoff contender in the DSFL he originally expected nothing else. Interceptions, Pick Sixes, good coverage. That was what he was used to and what he excels at. The first few games in the league showed that things run differently here. Strength must be built through adversity and not only by winning and raking in big stats. While Fields still puts up great tackle numbers and generally performs well, but is very deprived of flashy plays throughout the last few games. One tackle for loss and two defended passes don’t really show a lot on the score board even though he is top 10 in total tackles up until this point.
These stats tell how the big leagues differ from college a lot, while the basic knowledge is still there, it’s much harder to come away with flashy plays at all times during the season and you have to be able to deal with it and grow through it to come back to your college form.
