When Ryan Day was asked during a teleconference on Sunday morning which Ohio State player he thought should have been selected earlier in the 2020 NFL draft, the Buckeyes’ head coach gave his answer without hesitation.
K.J. Hill.
“That one I don’t understand,” Day said. “All he does is get open, catch the ball, make great plays. The most productive receiver in Ohio State history. I don’t get that one at all. Certainly a lot of guys that I could comment on, but that’s the one that sticks out to me.”
Those comments came one day after Hill fell to the seventh round of the NFL draft, even though he is the only player in Ohio State history with more than 200 career catches, and even though he was projected to be selected between the third and fifth rounds in most pre-draft mock drafts.
