It was a night to remember at the NFL Draft for the Ohio State Buckeyes football team. In total, four playmakers from the reigning champs were selected in the first round: Emeka Egbuka, Donovan Jackson, Tyleik Williams and Josh Simmons.
As great as that was, even more good news should be on the way come Friday. There's barely any time to rest, as Round 2 of the NFL Draft will start at 6 p.m. ET. We shouldn't have to wait long to see more Buckeyes stars drafted, as running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins are considered two of the best players available:

TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins are ready for Day 2 of the NFL Draft
Leading up to the draft, there was some buzz that maybe, just maybe the Chiefs would be interested in grabbing Henderson late in the first round. Per multiple reports, Kansas City and Andy Reid had a last-minute call with Henderson this week ahead of the draft.
He was there for the taking when Kansas City was on the board late in the first round, but the Chiefs opted to go after lineman Simmons instead, which was a move that Patrick Mahomes was a big fan of, posting quite the reaction on social media.
As for Judkins, he's also a talented back and someone who should hear his name called early on Friday. There's been some buzz that a team like the Cowboys could go after him in the second round, which would make sense for Jerry Jones and Co.
Might Henderson end up with the Chiefs after all? You never know how things might shape out in the second round, but Ohio State fans would surely love to see him and Simmons playing together again at the next level. It's up in the air if that will happen or not, but luckily Round 2 is just around the corner on Friday evening.
