Ohio State is annually one of the biggest stops on the collegiate pro day circuit, and 2021 is certainly no exception. Among the Detroit Lions representatives at the Buckeyes workout on Tuesday is someone who knows the program very well: Chris Spielman.
The Lions special assistant to the owner played at Ohio State before becoming an All-Pro linebacker for the Lions. He took along TE coach Ben Johnson to the Buckeye pro day.
There are several Ohio State prospects that figure to be on the Lions radar at various points in the draft. Most notable is quarterback Justin Fields, who could be in play at No. 7 overall if he slides that far.
Other Buckeyes to watch:
- Linebacker Baron Browning
- Guard Wyatt Davis
- Linebacker Pete Werner
- Cornerback Shaun Wade
- Running back Trey Sermon
- Tight end Luke Farrell
- Defensive tackle Tommy Togiai
- Center Josh Myers
