Fourteen members of last year’s Ohio State football team have a real chance to hear their names called in this week’s NFL draft.
For most of them, it’s no surprise they’ve made it to this point.
Among those 14 players, all of whom received NFL Scouting Combine invitations, five of them were five-star recruits while seven of them were four-star recruits – and the two three-star recruits are a punter and a kicker. Eight of them were ranked as top 55 prospects in their respective recruiting classes, and all of them have been viewed as potential future NFL players since before they even began their careers as Buckeyes.
