Looking at the Former Buckeyes Who Have Made an Instant Impact in the NFL

Ohio State has a long history of sending players the NFL, but that pipeline has surged with Urban Meyer and Ryan Day at the helm.

Over the last five NFL drafts, a staggering 40 former Buckeyes have heard their names called. Twelve of those 40 selections came in the first round and another seven came in the second, meaning nearly half of those draftees were high-round picks.

That means the former Ohio State players enter the league with both talent and potential, and over the course of the past five years, many of those Buckeyes are delivering drastically positive results at an early stage in their careers.
