Can Emeka Egbuka be the Ohio State football team's best overall player?

The Ohio State football team has a lot of talented players on both sides of the ball on this year's team. The Buckeyes are going to be one of the best team's in the country because of that. Defensively, it might be the best unit in the country. The secondary is nasty.

Even though the defense is so good, the offense might have the best player on the entire team. Emeka Egbuka is the best receiver that the team has now that Marvin Harrison Jr. is gone. Egbuka decided to come back this year instead of possibly being a first-round pick.

Egbuka is one of the best receivers in the country, but he was hurt last year. He had an ankle injury that hampered him to the point that he was likely not going to be a first-round pick. He only had 41 catches for 515 yards and 4 touchdowns for the Buckeyes.

The previous season, he had over 1,200 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns. Egbuka also had 87 yards rushing and two touchdowns on the ground. In his sophomore season, he showed the ability to be one of the most dynamic players in the country. He's determined to get back to that level this year.

So is Egbuka the best player on the Ohio State football team? Is he better than any of the defensive players? If he is fully healthy, I would say yes. But because it's been two years since he's been healthy, I'm not sure we can elevate him to the best player on the entire team yet.

I would say that Denzel Burke is the best player right now. Caleb Downs is a close second though. Egbuka very well could elevate himself to being the best overall player early in the year if he can stay healthy and play well against the best teams on Ohio State's schedule.
