Former Ohio State football players go off in NFL Week 9 action

The Ohio State Buckeyes have been able to both recruit and develop some of the best football players in the world.

Just this past NFL Draft, the Buckeyes had a top-five pick in Marvin Harrison Jr., and they could have a few more on the defensive side of the ball in the upcoming spring event.

Nonetheless, it was the players already in the NFL that took center stage Sunday as several former Ohio State standout players went off.

As Dan Hope notes, four former Buckeyes went for multiple scored, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the Seahawks’ first-round pick in 2023, arguably had his best game in the NFL.

It is also only fitting that three of the four on this list are receiving as Ohio State has been the clear top program in the country for developing the position.

As for Dobbins, seeing him on the list as well, especially after the injuries he’s sustained throughout his career, is a heart-warming story of perseverance.

That said, let’s hope each of them continues to play at a high level as the NFL season is just over halfway over.
