Ohio State Football: 3 not obvious players who could leave early for NFL

The Ohio State football team is one of the most talented teams in the Big Ten conference. They may not have won it this year, but they still have one of the most talented rosters in the entire country. It’s not just Buckeye fans that love the talent either. NFL scouts love Ohio State players.

Buckeyes have done very well in the NFL. That is especially true late. In fact, the highest-paid running back, center, and wide receiver all played for the Ohio State football program. Buckeyes have shown a great deal of hard work to make themselves the best at their respective positions.

There are a few Buckeyes who we are pretty sure are leaving early. All though no one has said they are leaving to declare for the Draft yet, a few of them would be foolish not to. Garrett Wilson is one of them. Paris Johnson Jr. is another. Both will easily be first-round picks.

This article won’t focus on the obvious players who will leave for the Draft early. This article will name three players who are borderline prospects to leave. If they left, it wouldn’t be shocking. It also wouldn’t be surprising if they stayed for another year either.

All of these players are really good and could succeed in the NFL right away. These three players could also increase their Draft stock by returning for another year as well. We won’t find out if they decide to leave until after the Rose Bowl.

The first player on this list is someone we thought would be a first-round pick before the season but didn’t impact games like people thought he would.
