Ohio State WRs putting on a show in NFL Week 1 silences the haters everywhere

The debate is over; everyone can stop talking about who is "Wide Receiver U" when it comes to sending elite receivers to the NFL. Week 1 of the NFL season commenced this past weekend and former Buckeyes wide receivers showed up and showed out.

Five former Ohio State wide receivers have over 50 receiving yards in Week one and three of the five have had at least one touchdown in their season debut. Chris Olave, who is playing with yet another new quarterback in New Orleans, finished his day with seven receptions for 54 yards. Jaxon Smith-Njiba, who is also playing with a new quarterback in Seattle, had the most yards with nine receptions and 124 yards.

Marvine Harrison Jr. began his sophomore campaign with five receptions, 71 yards, and a touchdown with the Arizona Cardinals. Garrett Wilson was able to hook up with another former Buckeye, Justin Fields, who is now the starter for the Jets, and reeled in seven receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown.

Rookie Emeka Egbuka made his official debut in the NFL, and it was quite an impressive one at that, with four receptions for 67 yards and two touchdowns. Egbuka's second touchdown ended up being the go-ahead, game-winning touchdown for the Buccaneers against the Atlanta Falcons.

It was only Week 1, and yes, teams are working through things, especially defenses, but there is no talking around these numbers. Especially with a lot of these guys working with new quarterbacks.

If there was any debate on who sends the best wide receiver to the NFL, it is over now with the performance that these guys showed this past weekend. Yes, there is an entire football season to be played still, but these guys came out hot and showed how things are done at The Ohio State University.
