Even though it’s been more than two years since C.J. Saunders last played in a football game, the former Ohio State wide receiver hasn’t closed the book on his playing career yet.
Saunders, who was a student coach for the Buckeyes last season after his appeal for a sixth year of eligibility was denied by the NCAA, will be among the participants in Ohio State’s March 30 pro day, where he’ll take his shot at impressing NFL scouts in hopes of landing an opportunity to play in the league.
Given that he didn’t see a ton of playing time at Ohio State and that he hasn’t played in a game since 2018 after missing the entire 2019 season with a knee injury, Saunders knows it’s uncertain whether he’ll even get invited to an NFL training camp.
