Ohio football fans who cheer for both the Buckeyes and the Browns will get to watch plenty of former stars from their favorite college team play for their favorite NFL team in 2025.

With their selection of Quinshon Judkins in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns now have seven former Ohio State players on their roster. He joins cornerback Denzel Ward, safety Ronnie Hickman, defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr., linebacker Jerome Baker and offensive linemen Dawand Jones and Luke Wypler as Buckeyes on the Browns.

The Browns’ affinity for the program two hours south down I-71 has been apparent in recent years as they’ve drafted five players from Ohio State since 2021, including four in the past three years alone.
