The 2023 NFL draft is in the books, and some homeless Ohio State football players are waiting to be signed. Going undrafted is often better than being selected in the seventh round because at least as an undrafted free agent, you are free to choose your own team.
A number of successful former Ohio State Buckeyes have gone undrafted, including Corey Brown, Andrew Norwell and Jake McQuaide. There will most definitely be one that sticks in this class. The most recent former Ohio State player to sign is Ronnie Hickman with the Cleveland Browns.
Buy Buckeyes TicketsHickman going undrafted was a bit of a surprise. He was a name most thought could go late in the draft. Hickman likely should have stayed for another season as he had obvious Day 2 potential, but he is certainly can stick in the NFL.
Hickman was a starter at safety for the past two seasons and was very solid throughout his Ohio State career, but we wish him good luck in Cleveland.
