COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The first decision was made nearly a year ago, which is one surefire way to prevent it from becoming a distraction during the season.
Another plan was assumed to have been made before the first game of the season, though it never has been officially announced.
Then there was a third that unexpectedly was made public thanks in large part to emotions getting the better of a player in a postgame press conference.
But even with those three NFL choices effectively already made and essentially out in the open, that’s just scratching the surface for Ohio State and a roster overflowing with professional potential.
