Projected first-round quarterback Justin Fields informed NFL teams this week he is battling epilepsy, a neurological disorder that often causes seizures, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. Fields shattered several single-season program records with the Buckeyes over his two-year stint in the Big Ten and is widely-regarded as one of the top prospects available in next week's NFL Draft.

Shouldn't affect his draft position or ability to excel in the NFL. Not the first player to deal with epilepsy.
