75 Former Ohio State Players On 2021 NFL Preseason Rosters

The Buckeyes are represented by players on 27 different teams.

As the preseason begins in earnest on Thursday night, there are 75 former Ohio State players on NFL rosters. That trails only Alabama, which has 80.

The Cincinnati Bengals lead all teams with seven former Buckeyes on their roster, not including quarterback Joe Burrow, who transferred from Ohio State to LSU ahead of his junior season. The Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints have five apiece, while the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers have four each, meanwhile.

Additionally, the Jaguars and Tennessee Titans are led by former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer and assistant coach/defensive lineman Mike Vrabel.
