3) Eddie George

I was thinking of putting George at number two, but once people would see who I would put at three I would get a lot of hate. During his time at Ohio State George would rush for 3,768 yards and 44 touchdowns, making him third on Ohio State’s list of great running backs according to 247Sports.

George would be drafted by the Houston Oilers / Tennessee Titans and turned out to be one of the best running backs in the NFL to come out of Ohio State. Well, until Zeke that is.

George rushed for 10,441 yards and 68 touchdowns, and was 1996 rookie of the year. He had a Super Bowl appearance and was a four-time pro bowler.

Without a doubt, Eddie George had one of the great NFL careers of any player to come out of Ohio State.
