Chimdi Chekwa-113 (Round 4) Raiders
Jermale Hines-158 (Round 5) Rams
Brian Rolle-193 (Round 6) Eagles
Ross Homan-200 (Round 6) Vikings

The NCAA has already suspended quarterback Terrelle ... Read More

This formation won't ever be a foundation of what the Buckeyes do, but success in these situations can change games. Ohio State should be more effective offensively in this look this ... Read More
