Ohio State Football: What an NFL team full of Buckeyes would look like
By Ben Swanger
CBs: Marshon Lattimore, Denzel Ward, Bradley Roby, Jeff Okudah, Gareon Conley, Kendall Sheffield, Damon Arnette
This cornerback group would create immense amounts of havoc on pass catchers. Marshon Lattimore was Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2017 and behind him on the back-end for the past three seasons with the Saints was Vonn Bell.
Denzel Ward earned a Pro Bowl nod as a rookie in 2018 with Cleveland and Bradley Roby has been one of the more consistent corners in the league. Okudah, Conley, Sheffield and Arnette are all gaining traction within the league. Absent from this list is former top ten pick Eli Apple as he is still a free agent.
Safeties: Malcolm Jenkins, Vonn Bell, Malik Hooker, Nate Ebner

At safety, Ohio State has produced more stars. Malcolm Jenkins has built himself into one of the most respected men in the entire league.
Jenkins has won Super Bowls with the Philadelphia Eagles and Saints. Bell has tallied over 80 tackles in his four seasons,
Malik Hooker has been a great presence in the Colts back-end, and all Nate Ebener has done is contributed to three Super Bowl winning teams in New England.
Rounding out the roster are the specialists. At kicker we have Mike Nugent, at punter Cameron Johnston, and two-time Pro Bowl long snapper Jake McQuaide.
And there you have it, a roster made up completely of Ohio State Buckeyes. It’s up to you to decide if they would be successful.
