Ohio State history of first-round NFL draft wide receivers

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.

OSU actually has a solid history of producing NFL wide receivers, with many of them going down as first-round draft picks. All told, there have been eight former Ohio State players go in the first round, meaning we could be looking at a cool and even ten after Thursday night.

Do you know who the previous eight were? If not, no worries because we’ve got the list and history of when and where they went for you to reminisce or get up to speed on so that you can impress folks at your NFL draft watch party tonight.

Here we go in chronological order.
