Giants shock Pats...reward zero former Bucks.




Normally, if tOSU lays and egg in the College season, the Super Bowl can bring some condolence to tOSU nation by shelling out rings to former Bucks. Congrats to all the former tOSU players who will get a ring from that shocking upset...a total of zero. A tall task for the Giants, seeing as tOSU is the highest producing NFL program currently. (53 total players, 48 active)


In a close second
MIA FLA (51 total, 48 active)
UM (45)
FLA (38)
LSU (35)
USC (31)

Even more tOSU draft love, in the 2004 NFL Draft, 14 Buckeyes were drafted, a record number for any school in a single draft.

Vernon Ghoston (picture above, handing out free tickets to the gun show) will be the next tOSU first round selection.

Here are the former tOSU players currently on NFL rosters...
Will Allen, Tim Anderson, Rodney Bailey, LeCharles Bentley, David Boston, Bobby Carpenter, Drew Carter, Adrien Clarke, Nate Clements, Na'il Diggs, Mike Doss, Simon Fraser, Joey Galloway, Chris Gamble,Ted Ginn Jr, Terry Glenn, Marcus Green, Andy Groom, Anthony Gonzalez,Roy Hall, Ben Hartsock, A.J. Hawk, Santonio Holmes, Kevin Houser, Josh Huston, Michael Jenkins, Mike Kudla, Nick Mangold, Donnie Nickey, Mike Nugent, Shane Olivea, Orlando Pace, Kenny Peterson, Ryan Pickett, Quinn Pitcock, Antonio Pittman, Robert Reynolds, Nate Salley, Darnell Sanders, Anthony Schlegel, Darrion Scott, Rob Sims, Will Smith, Troy Smith, Shawn Springs, Alex Stepanovich, Mike Vrabel, Tyson Walter, Donte Whitner, Matt Wilhelm, Dan Wilkinson, Antoine Winfield, and Ashton Youboty.
Players like Bam Childress are on the practice squads across the league but are nearly impossible to track.





Please, feel free to waste your time looking up who is active/who is not, only to try and disprove the above listings. Players such as Kevin Everette (TE, BUF, MIA FLA) are still on the roster so take that for what you will. Bottom line, tOSU is a NFL factory, not to say other programs are not but clearly there is a leader.
