Which Ohio State player has best odds for 2024 NFL Rookie of the Year?

Michael Hall Jr. has high standards for himself heading into his rookie season in the NFL.

The former Ohio State defensive tackle and Cleveland Browns second round draft pick told reporters that his goal is to follow the standard set by many former Buckeyes. He's aiming for Defensive Rookie of the Year. He'd be "a fool not to."

"It’s not overwhelming," Hall said. "I knew what I was getting myself into. They’re holding me to a high standard and I hold myself to a high standard. I am my worst critic. Just happy to be out here and I gotta get on top of my A-game for sure.”

In three seasons at Ohio State, Hall had 45 tackles, 10 tackles-for-loss and 6 sacks.
