Almost every year we see a parade of former Ohio State players, taken in the NFL draft. This year should not be any different, but unlike other years, there may not be as many participants in the first round as we are used to. In fact, according to ESPN project expert Mel Kiper, Jr., he expects only one Buckeye to participate in the first 32 picks of his 2021 fake NFL project.
We probably don’t have to tell you who that player is, but we’ll do it anyway. Maybe he fell in the draft tables just a little bit, but Kiper thinks that defender Justin Fields will still go very, very early in the NFL Draft, because – well, he’s a league defender and Fields is one of the best on the board. .
If Kiper has Fields going it might be a little surprising.
