Larry Johnson's track record of exporting talent to the NFL speaks much louder volumes than his own voice, one he rarely raises to a decibel level higher than what middle school teachers use when they work with teenagers.
"If you can teach in a classroom, you can teach on the field," Johnson said in August 2014, during the first fall camp at his current job as Ohio State defensive line coach.
At that time, the bodies he had for molding in the heart of the Buckeye defense included Noah Spence, Adolphus Washington, Michael Bennett and Joey Bosa.
