The Ohio State Buckeyes are one of the best teams in college football and continue to pump great talent into the NFL on a yearly basis, producing some of the best players in the league. Those players producing well at the next level also pays dividends for Ohio State, both from a pride level and in raising the status of the program. Here's how some of the best did this past weekend.
Michael Thomas, WR, New Orleans Saints
Thomas has flourished in his first season as New Orleans' No. 1 receiver, and he's putting up record-setting numbers. After catching 11 passes for 93 yards and a touchdown in a 31-19 win over the New York Jets. Thomas became just the second player in NFL history to record at least 90 catches in each of his first two seasons in the league.

Marshon Lattimore, CB, New Orleans Saints
Lattimore is the clear Defensive Rookie of the Year frontrunner and has been one of the best cornerbacks in all of football this year. His dominant play continued in New Orleans' win over the Jets.

Joey Bosa, DE, Los Angeles Chargers
Bosa was held without a sack in LA's 30-13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, but he made his way into the headlines for this postgame exchange with Tamba Hali.
