Ohio State has been an NFL factory for decades.
Long before Urban Meyer showed up and kicked Ohio State's national recruiting into overdrive (and in turn, converted those collegiate players into pro prospects), Columbus was a hotspot for churning out NFL talent.
This year, nine former Buckeyes heard their names called in Nashville, Tennessee for the draft, which was second-most nationally. Two of those names were announced in the first round when Nick Bosa was selected No. 2 overall by San Francisco and Dwayne Haskins was taken 15th by Washington. That gave Ohio State another benchmark, as it tied USC for the most first-round selections all-time by a single school.
