Ohio State safety Jordan Fuller is the next Buckeye off the board. He was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He was the 199th overall pick.
Fuller is a smart and athletic player on the back-end. Truth be known he flew a little under the radar in 2019, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the talent to be a key contributor at the next level. He’s a great teammate with good tackling skills and a well-schooled approach. He’s extremely smart with a high football IQ and is great off-the-field.
In fact, he was named school’s 22nd NFF Scholar-Athlete and three-times earned Academic All-America accolades three times during his career in Columbus.

Fuller led the team in tackles in 2018, second in 2017, and third in 2019 while totaling 224 career tackles. He will join a list of five former Buckeye safeties who are on active NFL rosters: Malcolm Jenkins (New Orleans Saints), Tyvis Powell (Denver Broncos), Malik Hooker (Indianapolis Colts), Von Bell (Cincinnati Bengals) and Nate Ebner (New York Giants).
