With four former Ohio football players getting a shot to make an NFL roster this summer, Ohio’s football program continues to churn out solid players who have a chance to play at the professional level.
Mike McQueen, Lucas Powell, Ian Wells and Keith Heitzman all have opportunities to play in the NFL, with McQueen and Wells signing as undrafted free agents with the San Diego Chargers and Detroit Lions, respectively.
Though Ohio turned out an unusual number NFL prospects this past season, it has produced solid NFL players in the past.
