Since we’re now past the 2020 NFL Draft and the signings of several undrafted free agents, it feels like a great time to check in with where all the former Ohio State football players are when it comes to the various rosters of NFL teams.
We’ve got some new additions through the draft, those that were traded to other teams, and still more that have signed free-agent deals or left teams for other reasons. We’ll warn you; it’s a lot. There are enough former Buckeyes to almost fill out an entire NFL roster at each and every position.
Keep in mind some of this will change when rosters are cut down, but as of right now, our math says there are a total of 60 players all taking part that learned their trade on the banks of the Olentangy.
So here we go. A complete list of former Ohio State players on active NFL rosters, broken down by division, conference, and team.
