Ohio State was well-represented from start to finish during the 2021 NFL season.
More than 60 Buckeyes played in at least one regular-season game this year, while more than a dozen former Ohio State players were on active rosters for NFL playoff teams. Seven Buckeyes made it to the Pro Bowl, while four Buckeyes – five if you include Joe Burrow – started for the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl.
Some of the Buckeyes who were expected to be NFL stars this season got bit by the injury bug; J.K. Dobbins and Michael Thomas missed the entire season with injuries, while Chase Young suffered a season-ending torn ACL and Taylor Decker missed half of the season with a finger fracture.
