Young Cornerbacks Still Battling For Playing Time Behind Kendall Sheffield, Damon Arnette

On Thursday night, Denzel Ward will come off the board at the NFL draft in Dallas, making him the fourth Ohio State cornerback in three years to go in the first round.

Not too shabby, but can the Buckeyes keep that tradition going?

The next two men up with such an opportunity are Kendall Sheffield and Damon Arnette, a pair of veterans with numerous reps in Ohio State's secondary. Alongside them, Jeffrey Okudah figures to rotate in with the elder Buckeyes this season, as he played an estimated 218 snaps in 2017, including a season-high 62 in a 24-7 win over USC in the Cotton Bowl.
