5 things to know about Jashon Cornell

The Detroit Lions ended their draft by picking defensive tackle Jashon Cornell from Ohio State. He seems like he could be a pretty decent guy.

Here’s what I found out about him.

1.  He’s originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, and attended the same high school that produced Joe Mauer, Michael Floyd, Chris Weinke, and Steve Walsh. He’s also good friends with Frank Ragnow.
2. In an interview that he did with The Spun, he feels that the team that drafts him will be getting a good interior pass-rusher. He added that he’ll be able to showcase his quickness and put a lot of pressure on quarterbacks. He thinks that his 2019 season was his best season yet.
3. He makes the third Buckeye that was selected by the Lions in this year’s draft. This is the first time since 2007 that a team has drafted three former Ohio State players in the same draft.  Indianapolis was the last to do it.
4. He started all 14 games for Ohio State last season, and had 30 tackles, with 6.5 tackles for losses, and four sacks.
5. He graduated with a degree in family resource management and also hospitality management.
