There is no shortage of NFL talent on the Ohio State football roster and the same can be said for the defensively elite Iowa Hawkeyes roster. It is not uncommon for scouts from the National Football League to roam the sidelines of Ohio Stadium searching for the next C.J. Stroud, J.K. Dobbins, or Garrett Wilson, but today almost a third of the league has representation in Columbus, Ohio.
Another interesting aspect of the number of scouts showing up is that most teams have one representative, but today multiple teams have up to three scouts. NFL scouts rarely stay for the whole game and most of their work is completed during the pre-game as they are primarily on sight to judge movement ability and a player’s size and frame, but with the amount of scouts at the game, perhaps today will be handled a bit differently. The following is a list of all ten NFL teams represented at the Ohio State game:
