MOBILE, Ala. — Ohio State edge rusher Tyreke Smith checks in with his former teammate via text or Instagram. He wants to let Bears quarterback Justin Fields know that he’s watching.
“Anytime I hit him up, it’s to say, ‘Hey, man, keep doing it,’ ” he said. “People only see what he does on the field, but inside and out, he’s a really great person. [He] has a great personality, a great passion for the game.
