After finishing up his fourth-year junior season at Ohio State in 2017, Terry McLaurin gave serious consideration to entering the 2018 NFL draft.
Some critics scoffed at the notion that he could leave early for the NFL, questioning whether he would even be drafted. Some Ohio State fans questioned whether he even belonged in the Buckeyes’ starting lineup. But McLaurin had just graduated from Ohio State that December, and thought it might be time to take his chance at playing at the next level, as he wondered aloud whether another season at Ohio State would even improve his draft stock.
