Ohio State Football: Week 5 NFL Buckeyes Power Rankings

It was another good week for former Ohio State football players now playing on Sundays. Here are the power rankings of Buckeyes in the NFL.

To start things off let’s look at what the middle linebacker on the Ohio State football team from 2014-16 accomplished in week 5.

10. Raekwon McMillan

Ranking Last Week: Not Ranked

Week 5: 4 Tackles | 2 Assists | 1 TFL

Season: 15 Tackles | 10 Assists | 2 TFL |  1 FR

Raekwon McMillan finds his way back into these rankings after falling out of them last week. He put in a great effort for a Miami team that shutout the Cincinnati Bengals in the first half of their game.

In fact, while 27 points came in the second half for the Bengals, 14 of those 27 points came by way of defensive touchdowns. McMillan was a huge reason for the Dolphin’s success on the defensive end notching 4 solo tackles, 2 assists, and a tackle for loss.

9. Cameron Heyward

Ranking Last Week: 8

Week 5: 2 Tackles | 1 Assist | 1.5 Sacks

Season: 13 Tackles | 6 Assists | 1 TFL | 2.5 Sacks | 1 FF

Cameron Heyward, while continuing to be one of the ten best Buckeyes in the NFL this season, also continues to drop in these rankings. This week however, it was more because of the excellence of the players behind him because Heyward was able to notch 1.5 sacks in what became a drubbing of the Atlanta Falcons.

It will be interesting in the coming weeks to see if Heyward can hold on to his spot on this list.
