Ohio State Football: What an NFL team full of Buckeyes would look like
By Ben Swanger
RBs: Ezekiel Elliott, Carlos Hyde, J.K. Dobbins, Mike Weber
Ezekiel Elliott. The name speaks for itself. He is undoubtedly a top three running back in the NFL as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. He has accumulated over 7,000 total yards and 48 trips to the end zone in just four seasons.
Before the 2019 season began, the Cowboys gave Elliott the most lucrative deal to a running back in the history of the game. Elliott inked a six-year contract for $90 million.
Carlos Hyde has quietly put together a great NFL career. Since entering the league in 2014 he has racked up over 5,000 yards on the ground and in the pass game.
Hyde gets lost in the shuffle of the league’s top backs mostly because he’s been on four teams in six seasons. He’s coming off his first career 1,000 yard season on the ground but still remains a free agent.
Baltimore Ravens‘ second round pick J.K. Dobbins and Mike Weber round out the order. The two youngsters paired up in 2017 and 2018 at Ohio State to create a dangerous backfield. The two will go on to have successful NFL careers.
Moving on to the wideouts.
