ESPN names three former Ohio State players in top ten of NFL edge rushers

Those in the league say that almost one-third of the best edge rushers in the NFL come from Ohio State. See what they told ESPN.

Ohio State and defensive line coach Larry Johnson have churned out some of the best edge rushers in the game over the last several years. So much so that there are some former Buckeye defensive ends that have caught the attention of ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

He ranked the top ten edge rushers (subscription required) heading into the upcoming season based on surveys of 50 league executives, coaches, scouts and players, and there are three players that used to wear scarlet and gray that came out among the ten best edge rushers in the game today.
