The biggest college football game on the Saturday schedule is No. 2 Ohio State vs No. 13 Penn State. This is a game the Pittsburgh Steelers need to keep a close eye on as this game is loaded with NFL draft prospects Pittsburgh could consider. Here are several big ones.
OT Paris Johnson Jr.-Ohio State
Johnson is a top-three tackle prospect in this draft and is sure to go in the top half of the first round. he has NFL-caliber length and size. Johnson is a finisher in the run game and plays with exceptional intensity.
Height: 6-6
Weight: 310lbs
CB Joey Porter Jr.-Penn State
Son of former Steelers linebacker Joey Porter and local hero, Porter Jr. is a long, rangy cornerback who excels in man coverage and shows off impressive ball skills.
Height: 6-2
Weight: 192lbs
EDGE Zach Harrison-Ohio State
Zach Harrison’s size makes him something of a tweener in the Steelers defense but his ridiculous athleticism for a man his size makes him too good to pass up.
Height: 6-6
Weight: 270lbs
OT Olumuyiwa Fashanu-Penn State
Fashanu is something of a tweener with some projecting him more of a guard but he looks the part of a big, powerful right tackle in the Steelers scheme.
Height: 6-6
Weight: 321lbs
CB Lathan Ransom-Ohio State
Ohio State has a knack for turning out long press corners and Ransom is the next great one. Physical, a solid run defender and fearless in coverage. Also has some positional versatility at safety.
Height: 6-1
Weight: 205lbs
DT PJ Mustipher-Penn State
Mustipher has a huge frame that could hold another 10 pounds of body weight which should help him with concerns over leverage and pad height.
Height: 6-4
Weight: 321lbs
