Before any of them have even played a game for their new teams, Ohio State’s newest class of NFL rookies have already signed contracts worth more than $100 million combined.
Ohio State’s first seven selections in the 2020 NFL draft – first-round picks Chase Young, Jeff Okudah and Damon Arnette, second-round pick J.K. Dobbins and third-round picks DaVon Hamilton, Jonah Jackson and Malik Harrison – have now all officially signed their initial four-year contracts with the teams that drafted them, and those seven contracts themselves combine to hit the nine-figure mark.
Add in seventh-round pick K.J. Hill, who signed his contract with the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, plus the projected contracts (via Spotrac) of sixth-round pick Jordan Fuller and seventh-round pick Jashon Cornell – who haven’t yet officially put pen to paper, but are expected to do so any day now before their teams start training camp this week – and Ohio State’s 10 draft picks are set to top the $110 million mark with their first NFL contracts.
