Just sayin': But you probably already knew that. The real competition will come in a couple years when USC joins the B1G, they are #2 with 83.

Per 11W, 55 Buckeyes appeared in NFL games this season, which just so happened to be the active available roster of an NFL team on game day in 2022. While missing a K and lacking depth behind Justin Fields at QB, this roster would include three C (two playing at All-Pro level), three 1,000 yard WRs (not including Michael Thomas), 3 more 500 yard+ WRs (still not including Michael Thomas), and a DL that just produced about 50 sacks with Joey Bosa and Chase Young spending most of the season in street clothes.

What a fucking team that would be!

Pretty sure Chrisman has some FG experience but not since High School I don't think. Screw it with those receivers and Justin behind a good Oline, go for it or punt!

Those players will be no surprise to many who followed the NFL all year: Nick Bosa, Cameron Heyward, Garrett Wilson, Terry McLaurin, Corey Linsley and – if you want to count him as a Buckeye (I do) – Joe Burrow. Here is where they landed on PFF's list:

NO. 3 - JOE BURROW​

Cincinnati overhauled its offensive line to make Burrow’s life easier, but by playoff time, injuries meant the Bengals were right back where they started. Nonetheless, Burrow continued to look excellent, as he came up just short of completing four-straight wins against Mahomes and the Chiefs in the AFC title game.

NO. 11 - NICK BOSA​

One of the game's very best defenders this season, Bosa tied for the league lead with 90 pressures in the regular season before adding eight more in the playoffs. Bosa was a problem for any offense that had to block him, and he was the best run defender among the top edge rushers this season.

NO. 29 - CAMERON HEYWARD​

With T.J. Watt missing from the lineup for half the season, Heyward had to do the heavy lifting for the Steelers' defense this season. He recorded 58 total pressures and 43 defensive stops, earning an 89.8 overall PFF grade.

NO. 76 - GARRETT WILSON​

The work that Wilson was able to do despite the Jets' quarterback situation was remarkable for a rookie. He racked up more than 1,100 yards, and his 22 broken tackles with the ball in his hands were more than any receiver outside of Deebo Samuel.

NO. 87 - TERRY MCLAURIN​

Yet again, McLaurin had to endure rough quarterback play in a season, and yet again he showed he can produce regardless. McLaurin caught 67.0% of the passes thrown his way in 2022 and led the team’s receivers by a distance with 2.04 yards per route run.

NO. 95 - COREY LINSLEY​

Linsley allowed just seven pressures across 15 games this past season, none of which were sacks. His run blocking wasn’t quite at the same level, but he has been arguably the best pass-blocking center in the game for several seasons.

Olave should be on that list. QB situation was equally bad and no other help from Can't Guard Mike again.

And then JSN comes barreling in as well. We're about to own the WR's in the league when Marv and Meka come in next year too. Damn
