Haskell Garrett was a fan favorite in his four years at Ohio State. How could anyone not love his work ethic and passion for the game?

Garrett returned for his senior year after a stellar junior campaign for the Buckeyes on the defensive line. His senior season wasn’t as spectacular as he dealt with nagging injuries. However, most thought the lovable big man would get a chance in the NFL.
