The first three picks of the 2020 NFL draft could serve as ready-made advertising for the Ohio State football program and its ability to develop players.
Joe Burrow didn’t finish his career at Ohio State, but he did start it there before graduate transferring to LSU, and he’s now projected to be the No. 1 overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. The next two picks, meanwhile, could both be players who spent their entire three-year collegiate careers with the Buckeyes: Chase Young and Jeff Okudah, who both earned unanimous All-American honors while starring on Ohio State’s defense in 2019.
