With Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly looking to his Oregon Ducks pipeline early and often for NFL talent, the team is often looked at as an extension of Oregon, the “Philadelphia Ducks” if you will. Kelly looked to cap this off by an “any means possible” approach to trade up and land his former signal-caller, Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, Marcus Mariota. Although his plan didn’t pan out, it’s clear he has an affinity for his former players.
However, it’s also apparent the Steelers’ front office seems to be enamored with the Ohio State pipeline as well, drafting six of their players dating back to 2010.
