Ohio State Football: Coach Larry Johnson just keeps raising the bar

Before he took over as the defensive line coach for the Ohio State football team Larry Johnson was one of the most respected assistants in college football. During his time at Penn State coaching defensive ends from 1996-99 and the entire line from 2000-2013 coach Johnson had 12 players drafted into the NFL and 5 were first round picks.

If you think that’s impressive, just look at the players he has sent to the pros during his six years at Ohio State.
