It’s always fun to look around the NFL and see former Ohio State players doing great things. That is the case for many Buckeyes around the league.
The most notable of these is C.J. Stroud, whose historic rookie season with the Houston Texans has been one of the biggest storylines of the NFL as he’s drawing legitimate MVP consideration midway through the season.
Stroud has single handedly changed the narrative around Ohio State quarterbacks struggling in the NFL already, but one thing that has never been in doubt is Ohio State receivers developing in the League. This has been evident this season as seven former Buckeyes have at least 300 receiving yards so far this year.
In this article we’ll go through the numbers put up by Stroud and other offensive players out of Ohio State around the league this season.
