Incoming Georgia freshman quarterback Justin Fields spent a day recently “working” with former Heisman Trophy winner Deshaun Watson.

Fields, who could unseat starting Bulldogs quarterback Jake Fromm, posted photos on Instagram of himself with Watson, and Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins and quarterback guru Quincy Avery, who runs a training facility in Atlanta.

Fields’ post just has the caption “Working.”
