Allen Park — No school has produced a more dynamic rookie class this season than Ohio State. The group includes seven players selected in the first two rounds who are starting for their teams. At the top of the list is Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, the front-runner for Offensive Rookie of the Year and a legitimate candidate for MVP.
Elliott is closing in on 2,000 yards from scrimmage and leads the NFL with 1,551 rushing yards. He’s also among the league leaders with 14 touchdowns.
Detroit Lions offensive lineman Taylor Decker is another former Buckeye who is making an impact as a rookie.
