Branden Bowen didn’t have much time to decompress after Ohio State’s Fiesta Bowl loss to Clemson. He didn’t even come back to Columbus.
Just four days after his final season as a Buckeye came to an end in Glendale, Arizona, Bowen began training for his pre-draft NFL workouts at EXOS San Diego in Carlsbad, California. He stayed out there until two weekends ago, when he finally returned to Columbus, where he is now continuing his training alongside fellow former Ohio State offensive lineman and 2020 NFL draft hopeful Jonah Jackson in advance of Ohio State’s March 25 pro day.
