Why Ole Miss, Not Ohio State, Will Be the Talk of the 2016 NFL Draft

Ohio State's run to the 2014-2015 College Football Playoff National Championship was littered with young players who seemingly came out of nowhere to lead the Buckeyes to the title.

That youth became even more apparent last week, when no member of the national title team was selected in the first round of the NFL draft. By the end of the weekend, five Buckeyes moved on through the draft, with only two being selected before Round 4.

That will change next year because quarterback Cardale Jones, safety Vonn Bell, defensive end Joey Bosa, running back Ezekiel Elliott and linebacker Darron Lee are just a few of the laundry list of NFL prospects coming back to Columbus.
