Despite a wealth of talent at the wide receiver position last season, it seemed as though the Ohio State Buckeyes offense in general and wide receivers in particular never gelled. Even with Michael Thomas providing a natural downfield threat, it was not enough, given a series of injuries and position changes that rocked the remainder of the wideouts. Braxton Miller and Jaylon Marshall, both converted quarterbacks, were not true outside receivers last season, having also lined up as slot receivers or even in the backfield. And with injuries to both Noah Brown and Corey Smith, who were projected starters in the spring, there was no one to accompany Thomas as exclusive outside receivers.
