2 ?'S

1) Who or how many past buckeyes made it to the NFL after the college time if they were a starter or on the 2 deep as a freshmen?

2) Opposite the first but, who or how many did not make it to the NFL after playing as a starter or 2 deep as a freshmen?

If they play as a freshmen they must be great with all the talent at OSU

To answer number one, Katzenmoyer is one, Clarett, if he somehow finds a way to get back in the league and Barring injury, Chris Wells is bound to be one, same as Malcolm Jenkins.

I remember this guy starting as a freshman; however, (sadly) his pro career wasn't that memorable even though he was drafted by the Colts in the 1st round (#4 overall):

I assume that the 1st round picks of 2006 are locks to make the roster. Mike Kudla, Nate Salley, Rob Sims, and Ashton Youboty are others who were in the 2 deep as freshman who could end up making an NFL roster this season.
