Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Over the years you kind of forget that Paul Warfield played in 3 SuperBowls and is a 2 time SuperBowl (VII and VIII) champion.
Tidbit on SuperBowl VI: Shortly before Super Bowl VI between the Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys, President Richard Nixon famously telephoned Dolphins coach Don Shula to suggest that they run a particular pass play to Warfield. The play, a down-and-in pattern, was tried and resulted in an incomplete pass. Covered by star defensive back Mel Renfro, Warfield was limited to four receptions for 39 yards as the Dolphins were defeated 24–3.

Ohio State will send 11 players to NFL combine
Ohio State’s 11 invites tie Michigan for second most invites among all teams
A total of 11 Buckeyes were invited to participate in the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine, held Feb. 24 to March 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Cornerbacks Damon Arnette Jr. and Jeff Okudah, running back J.K. Dobbins, safety Jordan Fuller, defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton, linebacker Malik Harrison, receivers K.J. Hill, Austin Mack and Ben Victor, offensive lineman Jonah Jackson and defensive end Chase Young are expected to attend the annual event.
Ohio State is tied with Michigan for second most invites (11) among all teams. The only team with more are the reigning champs, LSU, with 16 invites...

Re: Ohio State is tied with Michigan for second most invites (11) among all teams.
I can't believe that scUM has 11 potential NFL players, etc. I have to conclude:
a) our 11 is better than their 11.
b) the rest of our team is much better than the rest of their team.
and/or
c) Harbaugh is just a "shitty" coach.
Regardless I do believe that the only a Harbaugh coached scUM team can compete with Ohio State is if they somehow get a duel threat "franchise QB" like Micheal Vick, Cam Newton, and/or Vince Young who can put the team on his back and will it to win games in spite of Harbaugh's coaching.

SKULL SESSION: URBAN MEYER WAS “DISTANT” TO OFFICIALS, SOME BUCKEYES AMONG THE BEST NFL PROSPECTS OF THE LAST FIVE YEARS, AND ZED KEY IMPRESSES
CAN'T MISS LIST. After five years of rating college football players, Pro Football Focus put together their all-prospects team, which is effectively a collection of guys they thought were the most NFL ready at each position coming out of college.
This is going to shock you, but the school that produced three of the last four rookies of the year is all over the list.
EDGE
Chase Young, OSU; Myles Garrett, Texas A&M
Honorable mention: Nick Bosa, OSU; Joey Bosa, OSU
The Bosa brothers were both elite, elite prospects, but they didn’t have the physical tools that our first-team prospects possessed. Garrett you could see was a different breed from his freshman year when he earned a 92.1 pass-rushing grade. He’d go over 90 in every single year of his college career. Young didn’t hit the field quite as ready, but he developed into the most dominant edge prospect we’ve ever seen with a 96.5 pass-rushing grade this past season.
...
CORNERBACK
Jalen Ramsey, FSU; Marshon Lattimore, OSU
Honorable mention: Jeffrey Okudah, OSU; Tre’Davious White, LSU
I still don’t think we’ve seen another season quite as statistically dominant from a Power-5 corner as Lattimore’s 2016. That season he allowed only 18 catches on 40 targets with four picks and 12 forced incompletions for a passer rating of 31.9. It was really the only exposure we got to Lattimore and we were convinced. Ramsey on the other hand had multiple seasons of dominance at both safety and corner. Watching him press college wide receivers was a thing of beauty.
...
FREE SAFETY
Malik Hooker, OSU
Honorable mention: Grant Delpit, LSU
Hooker’s highlight reel from back in 2016 was a sight to behold. While it may well have overhyped him in our eyes as he still had a small sample size with only one years as a starter, Hooker consistently displayed freaky range. He picked off seven passes that season and earned a 91.5 coverage grade. He’s been solid as a pro, but hasn’t quite been the playmaker he was in college.
So, Ohio State has 75 percent of the edge players listed, half the corners and the first-team free safety. That seems good!

SKULL SESSION: SOME EARLY COLLEGE FOOTBALL BETTING LINES, BUCKEYE RECRUITING ISN'T SLOWING DOWN, AND OHIO STATE PRODUCED SOME OF THE BEST NFL PROSPECTS OF THE PAST SIX YEARS
JUST DRAFT THE BUCKEYE. NFL scouting is going to be a little harder this year with most folks living in isolation for a few weeks and pro days canceled, but I can make it really easy on any NFL scout – just draft the Buckeye. If a Buckeye is on the board, take the Buckeye.
Pro Football Focus has been rating NFL prospects for six years now, and it turns out that most of the top-7 prospects and more than a quarter of the top-25 players they've evaluated during that span played at Ohio State.
To be fair, the top prospect among them (No. 1 Joe Burrow) finished his career at LSU, but even excluding him, the list is absurd.
4. EDGE CHASE YOUNG, OHIO STATE (2020)
Without question, Chase Young the top defensive prospect we have ever seen here at PFF. He broke the record for the highest overall grade we have ever handed out to a defensive player (96.1) and made opposing offensive tackles want to quit the game as a pass-rusher. Young finished the season owning a 96.5 pass-rush grade and unreal 27.2% win rate on his 300-plus pass-rush reps. Everything about him as a pass-rusher is elite — power, quickness, speed, hands — you name the trait, Young owns it. Heck, he even made the Northwestern offense change their entire offensive scheme when they went up against him, using designed rollouts to the opposite side.
6. EDGE JOEY BOSA, OHIO STATE (2016)
Joey Bosa was a pressure-generating machine in his final two years with the Buckeyes. He combined for 145 pressures in 2014 and 2015, which was the most in the FBS by three and 29 more than third. It’s not like he was first because of rushing the passer over 800 times, either, as he owned one of the five highest pressure rates in that span and the highest win rate. There was only one game in 2015 and 2016 in which he didn’t produce multiple pressures, and that was because he was limited to only five pass-rush reps — no tackle could contain him.
7. EDGE NICK BOSA, OHIO STATE (2019)
He may have missed all but three of his games in his final collegiate season, but we had seen enough from Nick Bosa to declare him one of the 10 best prospects in the PFF College era. Combining his limited sample size from 2018 as well as his entire 2017, Bosa posted an unreal 93.7 pass-rush grade and 27.8% win rate. There wasn’t a single game in the stretch in which Bosa was held to a win rate below 15%. That’s pretty remarkable. In fact, Bosa’s 2017 campaign was the most valuable season we have seen from a Power-5 edge defender. He proved he could win on the inside or outside and was easily the safest prospect of his class, just like his older brother Joey.
22. CB MARSHON LATTIMORE, OHIO STATE (2017)
Marshon Lattimore's numbers in his 2016 season are flat out ridiculous — there’s just no other way to put it. He played 311 coverage snaps that year and allowed only 18 catches on 40 targets. Only 10 of those 18 catches resulted in a first down, which was less than the number of plays he made on the ball (12 forced incompletions and four interceptions). Those are lockdown numbers. Not to mention, he didn’t miss a single tackle that year on 39 attempts.
23. CB JEFF OKUDAH, OHIO STATE (2020)
It’s rare to see a cornerback prospect coming out of school be as polished as Jeff Okudah is when in press coverage. Okudah played 184 coverage snaps in press in 2019 and allowed a minimal 0.49 yards per coverage snap, which was the second lowest in college football and over a half yard less than the average. On top of that, he didn’t allow a single explosive play on those reps — he was the only corner in the 2020 class to accomplish that feat.
Alabama technically topped all schools with seven players on the list, but Ohio State had three players rated higher than Bama's highest (four counting Burrow), so I'll go ahead and claim a W here.
Between those can't-miss guys and the guys like Terry McLaurin and Michael Thomas who exceed expectations, it's almost reckless not to draft the Ohio State player, when given the chance.
