Ohio State sent 11 players to the NFL Combine, and this is how you can watch and follow them as they complete the biggest job interview of their lives.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are sending 11 players to the NFL Scouting Combine this week in Indianapolis. Those 11 are the third most that any team is sending to the combine this year, but they will have the attention of every NFL coaching staff and organization.
Ohio State has become a legitimate hotbed for NFL talent. Everyone knows the depth that the program has at wide receiver, but it is often forgotten just how good they are everywhere on the field.
There are great running backs, star quarterbacks, lockdown cornerbacks, terrifying pass rushers, stout offensive linemen, and so much more.
The next crop of Buckeyes starts the biggest interview process of their young careers this week. For some, they have the opportunity to improve their draft stock further into the top-15; for others, they will be fighting for their NFL lives.
Here is the schedule for who will be doing what on what days of the week this week.
Defensive Linemen & Linebackers
Three potential first-rounders take center stage right away at the combine. Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, Kayden McDonald, and Caden Curry get the party started on Wednesday when they meet with the media.
They will have their third round of team interviews, which sets them up for Thursday and Friday.
Thursday is the most important day for these guys. They get all of their measurements and complete their full on-field workout. They stick around one more day to complete the bench press and then head out of town on Friday.
Defensive Backs and Tight Ends
Another group that will be well represented by the Scarlet and Gray is this one. Led by Caleb Downs, Davison Igbinousin, and Lorenzo Styles Jr., the tight ends clean it up with Max Klare and Will Kacmerek representing Ohio State.
Their schedule starts just one day later than the first group. They will begin their media interviews starting on Thursday and will stick around through Saturday.
Running Backs, Quarterbacks and Wide Receivers
Another big group for the Buckeyes because they likely have the best player in this group. Wide receiver Carnell Tate headlines this group as he is likely going to be the first receiver off the board in this section. Also in this group is running back CJ Donaldson, who will be testing to prove that he can make it at the next level.
This group starts speaking to the media starting on Friday, and they stick around through Sunday to do their bench press before they head out of town.
Offensive Linemen
They are the final group competing and testing for the combine. They don't arrive to Indianapolis until Wednesday, and they don't begin to speak to the media until Saturday and stick there until Monday.
Ohio State has no representatives on the offensive line this year.
