More than one out of every 32 players on NFL rosters to begin the 2025 season is from Ohio State.

As NFL teams around the league set their initial 53-man rosters on Tuesday, 57 Buckeyes survived final cuts to make one of the league’s 32 teams.

The Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns lead the NFL with six Buckeyes on each of their rosters, followed by the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers, who each have four Buckeyes on their roster. The Buffalo Bills, Washington Commanders, Detroit Lions, New Orleans Saints and Houston Texans each have three players on their rosters who finished their college careers at Ohio State.
