It’s become a bit of an annual thing. Each year, Pete Prisco publishes a top 100 player list for the upcoming NFL season, and as you can probably guess, there are a lot of former Ohio State players that are littered across it.
And, as fate would have it, the 2021 version of the NFL Top 100 just came out and there are eight former Buckeyes appearing. There are a lot of familiar names on this year’s list but there’s been some obvious shuffling because of injuries and performance from last season. There is even a new name to the list based on one whale of a rookie season.
We’ve got all eight of those players for you listed out and what Prisco says about each. If some of the former OSU players can stay healthier this year, we could even see some jump back near the top of the list and others make their way back on the map after this season.
Here are all eight former Ohio State players on the 2021 NFL Top 100.
