The 2021 NFL draft is officially over and ten former Ohio State Buckeyes found their new team during draft weekend, but a few former Ohio State studs were not selected. Everyone knows how fast and furious NFL teams are after the draft picking up undrafted free agents and the San Francisco 49ers have found a good one.
Former five-star recruit Justin Hilliard had a very solid career for the Buckeyes after arriving to Columbus via Cincinnati powerhouse St. Xavier. Although solid, Hilliard never quite lived up to the five-star hype due to a string of unfortunate injuries.
Hilliard will be joining an already Ohio State loaded San Francisco 49er team who just drafted Trey Sermon and already have Nick Bosa.
The #49ers are signing former Ohio State LB Justin Hilliard to a hefty rookie free-agent deal that includes a $30,000 signing bonus and $95,000 base salary guarantee, per source.
