What we say
I have to admit, I was a little surprised to see Ohio State so high on this list here, but then I remembered that guys like James Laurinaitis, A.J. Hawk, and Bobby Carpenter came through the program in the early 2000s, which covers this timeframe. Things have changed a lot with the position in recent years, but here’s hoping that we see things bump up again soon.
