Ohio State has become a factory for NFL talent. Each year, there are a handful of prospects that make the jump from the Buckeyes to the pros.
This year's class is no different, as two of the top three prospects are from Ohio State. Jeff Okudah and Chase Young are expected to hear their name called fairly early. Other former Buckeyes that should get drafted this week includes J.K. Dobbins, K.J. Hill, DaVon Hamilton, Malik Harrison and Jonah Jackson.
With the NFL Draft just about ready to begin, former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer shared a heartfelt message for his former players.
"Hey Buckeyes, as you prepare for one of the biggest days in your life - the NFL Draft - we've been thinking about you. When we recruited you, there was never a promise about the NFL or playing time. We did promise that we'd surround you with the best group of coaches and that you'd be pushed like you have never been pushed in your life. As you get ready for this draft, please enjoy the moment with your family and enjoy the journey. You earned what's about to happen to you. On behalf of the Meyer family, we are so proud of what you've done for Ohio State. Now, go have a great pro career."
That's a classy message from Coach Meyer.
We've seen plenty of former Buckeyes become household names in the NFL. Joey Bosa, Ezekiel Elliott, Marshon Lattimore and Michael Thomas are just a few ex-Buckeyes that have become NFL superstars.
