In a piece titled, “Justin Fields And The Double Standard Of Black Quarterback Prospects,” Martenzie Johnson claimed that black quarterbacks are treated unfairly, using Justin Field’s draft stock as evidence.
Writing for “The Undefeated,” which is owned by ESPN, Johnson claimed that “The NFL draft process displayed how race plays a part in evaluating talent.”
“Make no mistake, Fields will be one of the first five quarterbacks taken in the draft. But the fact that he started the college season as the consensus No. 2 quarterback prospect, before inexplicably dropping as low as the fifth quarterback at times in some mock drafts — behind two white players with lesser pedigrees — is an indictment of an antiquated system as it pertains to Black quarterbacks,” Johnson argued.
“But anyone who has been following professional football shouldn’t be surprised by this. Race has always been a justification for barring Black players from playing certain positions, coaching or managing teams, or even playing in the sport altogether,” he later claimed.
