Three Ohio State players appear in USA TODAY’s latest NFL first round 2021 mock draft

Ohio State football has three players appearing in the latest USA TODAY Sports 2021 NFL first-round mock draft. Who, and where?

You can never get too much coverage of the NFL draft if you’re a football junkie, and Ohio State is usually right at the top of the list of programs churning out talent. It’s now a year-round process trying to track and predict what players each team will take and, it’s no different with the folks at USA TODAY.

Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz is the media giants’ NFL draft guru and he just came out with his latest and greatest projection of where teams will pick and what names you may hear called. It’s a little closer to reality at this point in the season because there’s a much better shot at a call where teams will land, but all of that will change as the NFL season goes through its latter half.

It will probably be no surprise to you, but Ohio State has some players included in the latest mock — three in fact. Who does Middlehurst-Schwartz have going in the first round, and where? Well, we’re glad you asked.
