Kerry Coombs and Greg Schiano know what they face. And they welcome the challenge, a main reason Urban Meyer brought them to Ohio State.
The program's long success of exporting cornerbacks to the NFL speaks for itself. Three Buckeyes at the position made their way to the league since Meyer took over ahead of the 2012 season: Bradley Roby, Doran Grant and most recently Eli Apple. Roby and Apple were first round picks. Grant is entering his second year with Pittsburgh.
There are more beyond those that coincided with the Meyer regime, too. Malcolm Jenkins, Ashton Youboty, Chris Gamble, Nate Clements, Ahmed Plummer, Antoine Winfield, Shawn Springs and others played (or still play) in the NFL following stellar college careers.
