Back to the Ohio State Buckeyes Newsfeed

From Silver Bullets to the Orange Crush, three former Buckeyes were reunited in the NFL and have experienced surprising success with their new team

Two third-round picks and a surprising seventh-rounder. Players without a ton of notoriety or long lists of college football accolades. Hell, two of the three could have been considered recruiting busts by the time their Ohio State careers were done. But Dre’Mont Jones, Baron Browning, and Jonathon Cooper quickly formed a productive NFL trio and a triumvirate of important pieces for the Denver Broncos in 2021.

These former Buckeyes joined forces (again) last year when Browning and Cooper were both taken by the Broncos in the 2021 NFL Draft. Jones has been with the club since 2019, and there were no introductions needed, as there was plenty of familiarity stemming from the players’ time in Columbus.
