The Ohio State football program put a ton of players into the NFL during the Jim Tressel era. While the Buckeyes were led by Tressel, they were one of the best programs in the country. He won a national championship and played for two others while leading the team.
One of the best players to ever play under Tressel was cornerback Malcolm Jenkins. Jenkins was a three-time First-team All-Big Ten honoree. He was a second-team All-American in 2007 and a Consensus All-American in 2008. He also won the Jim Thorpe Award for the best DB in the country.
