Every Ohio State football NFL draft pick since Urban Meyer, Ryan Day became head coach

Ohio State football is expected to see two star receivers drafted into the NFL in 2022.

Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave would become the first Ohio State receivers to be drafted in the first round since 2007, when Ted Ginn Jr. went No. 9 to Miami.

They would also follow in a long line of talented players recruited to Ohio State by either head coaches Ryan Day or Urban Meyer to be selected in the first round. Both players were recruited and committed to Ohio State while Meyer was the head coach. Wilson never played for Meyer, though, as the coach retired before his freshman season.
