That was a stacked defense we faced in the 2024 title game

by BPH, San Diego, Monday, April 27, 2026, 08:34 (29 days ago)

With the conclusion of the 2026 NFL Draft, all 11 defensive starters from Ohio State’s College Football Playoff National Championship victory over Notre Dame on Jan. 20, 2025 have now been drafted to the NFL, with each and every guy being taken within the first five rounds of the last two NFL Drafts.

As if that wasn’t impressive enough, several rotational guys on defense from that year’s squad are also now on their way to the league. In fact, every defensive player to receive at lease five snaps against the Fighting Irish has either been drafted to the NFL or is still on the Ohio State roster waiting for their chance in the 2027 NFL Draft.

by hobbs, San Diego, CA, Monday, April 27, 2026, 09:08 (29 days ago) @ BPH

and he had all of 163 snaps on defense in 2024.

As you said a stacked team.

Not sure I'll ever understand that guy

Ran a 4.27 40 at the Combine and looked like he was stuck in molasses in that OSU game opener in 2022.

Also not sure that he's actually worth of that pick, but once he ran that time, there was no question he was going to be drafted.
