WATCH: Garrett Wilson heaps praise on Marvin Harrison Jr and Emeka Egbuka

You don’t often hear an older guy speak so fondly of younger players. #GoBucks

It’s no secret that the Ohio State wide receiver corps continues to be one of the best in the country. What assistant Brian Hartline has done during his time in Columbus is going to be hard to match when he one day moves on to bigger and better things.

Just this past season, OSU saw two explosive wide receivers go in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft, back-to-back in fact. Garrett Wilson was selected No. 10 overall by the New York Jets, followed immediately by Chris Olave at pick No. 11 by the New Orleans Saints.

And while Ohio State will miss two dynamic playmakers like Wilson and Olave, there’s still plenty in the cupboard as evidenced by rewatching the game film of the classic Rose Bowl last January.

Wilson may have moved on to the NFL, but he backs all of that up by heaping accolades on the work ethic of both Marvin Harrison Jr and Emeka Egbuka. He sang their praises while appearing on The Pivot Podcast.

Watch the below video and listen to how both players actually set an example for him in how they go about their business.

The Buckeyes may have lost to of the best receivers to ever wear the scarlet and gray to the NFL, but by the looks and sound of it, the offense should still be in good hands in the passing game with C.J. Stroud throwing to another talented bunch of receivers.
