Buckeyes in the NFL: Notable former Ohio State football players Week 13 defensive performances
The Ohio State Buckeyes are heading to the Rose Bowl to take on the Utah Utes and although it is not the result that any of us wanted, it is still a prestigious New Years’ Six game and an opportunity for more practices and therefore more reps.
In the day and age of the transfer portal, practices and reps to figure out your roster are at a premium and it feels like every day someone is placing their name in the portal, but that is not my focus here. Today we are going to dive into the former Buckeyes who played on Sunday.
This of former Ohio State legends in the league is so long we have to make two lists with this focusing on the defense.

The Denver Broncos lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, 22-9, and Baron Browning accounted for eight tackles.
Baron Browning is averaging 7 tackles per game in games he gets a full snap share. And being used out of position.
Kid’s good. Understood the slide in the draft, but he has talent.
