Wednesday’s Ohio State pro day was a family affair for Malik and Tyreke Smith.
Both of them were among the 2022 draft hopefuls working out in front of representatives from all 32 NFL teams during Ohio State’s annual draft prospect showcase at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. The two brothers’ journeys to this point, however, have been very different from one another.
Tyreke Smith is a projected middle-round pick in this year’s NFL draft after playing defensive end at Ohio State for the past four years. While he wasn’t quite as productive as he would have liked to have been as a Buckeye, and still believes his best football is in front of him, he has plenty of film to show NFL scouts after playing more than 1,100 defensive snaps across 42 games with 17 starts in his Ohio State career.
