After stellar collegiate careers highlighted by playing starring roles in Ohio State's march to the 2014 national title, local products Darron Lee and Joshua Perry are now just a few short months from joining the professional ranks.
Lee, a former three-star recruit out of New Albany, is projected as a 1st-rounder in most mock drafts while Perry, a four-star out of Lewis Center, could go as high as the 2nd round.
Projecting how collegiate success will translate to the next level is such an inexact science it's impossible to tell if either player will live up to the hype and become a key cog of an NFL defense.
