Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
On Thursday night, Ohio State will become the school that's produced the most first-round NFL draft picks.
It's a distinction it currently shares with USC. Both programs have had 81 former players selected in the first round dating back to 1938.
But with Chase Young and Jeff Okudah projected to go in the top five of Thursday's draft, with an outside chance of J.K. Dobbins sneaking into the backend of the first round, it should give Ohio State the edge over USC. Offensive tackle Austin Jackson is the only Trojan projected to the first round this year.
The Buckeyes covered a lot of ground in recent years. During Urban Meyer's tenure, Ohio State chased USC down by having an incredible 14 players taken in the first round. They were as far behind as the current No. 3 on the list — Notre Dame, which has 68.
But it's not just first-rounders. There have been 49 Buckeyes selected overall since 2013, an average of seven selections per draft.
