It’s looking more likely than not that there will be two Ohio State players taken in this year’s NFL draft, and if so, they’ll be receivers. Both Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave will go down as two of the best in the history of the Buckeye program and join other receivers that went in the first round of the NFL draft.
