OHIO STATE’S TOP 10 NFL PLAYERS OF THE 2023-24 SEASON​

145491_h.jpg


Ohio State was well-represented by NFL standouts once again during the 2023-24 NFL season.

With the season now complete following Sunday’s Super Bowl, it’s time for a look at the 10 former Ohio State players who had the best seasons in the league.

Fifty-nine players from Ohio State played in at least one NFL game this season, giving us plenty of Buckeyes to choose from in compiling the 10 best. Before we dive into the top 10, the following Buckeyes are among those who warrant honorable mentions for their performance during the 2023 season:

2. NICK BOSA, DE, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS​

Regular Season Stats: 53 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 16 TFL, 2 FF, 1 FR, 4 PD, 35 QB hits
Playoff Stats (3 games): 12 tackles, 2 sacks, 4 TFL, 12 QB hits

Bosa could easily be the No. 1 player on this list for the second year in a row. While he didn’t put up quite the numbers that he did as the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2022, he remained one of the league’s elite defensive players in 2023, reaching double-digit sacks for the third year in a row while leading the NFL with 47 total quarterback hits between the regular season and postseason.

Bosa made the PFWA’s All-NFC team for the third year in a row and was selected as a Pro Bowler for the fourth time in five NFL seasons. And he played some of his best football of the year in the San Francisco 49ers’ run to the Super Bowl, recording two sacks in their NFC Championship Game win over the Lions and six total tackles with two tackles for loss in their overtime Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

1. C.J. STROUD, QB, HOUSTON TEXANS​

Regular Season Stats: 319-499 passing (63.9%), 4,108 yards, 23 TD, 5 INT; 39 carries, 167 yards, 3 TD
Playoff Stats (2 games): 35-54 passing (64.8%), 449 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT; 4 carries, 10 yards

No NFL quarterback from Ohio State has ever had a better season than C.J. Stroud did in his first NFL season. His rapid rise to stardom in his first year out of Ohio State was one of the biggest stories of the entire 2023 NFL season, and he leads our list of Ohio State’s top NFL players of 2023 as a result.

Stroud shattered the single-season passing records for a quarterback from Ohio State by throwing for 4,108 yards – the third-most ever for an NFL rookie QB – and 23 touchdowns. His 23-to-5 touchdown-to-interception ratio was the best in the league in 2023, as was his average of 273.9 passing yards per game among quarterbacks who started more than half of their team’s games.

Stroud became the first quarterback who completed his college career at Ohio State to make the Pro Bowl (albeit as an alternate) and the first quarterback from OSU to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. And he led the way for a Houston Texans team that won just three games in 2022 to win the AFC South title and make the divisional round of the playoffs.



Ohio State quarterbacks have long been stigmatized for their lack of success in the NFL, but Stroud tossed that narrative aside in just one NFL season and was the driving force behind one of the league’s biggest team turnarounds.

EIGHT OHIO STATE PLAYERS INVITED TO 2024 NFL SCOUTING COMBINE​

Eight of Ohio State’s nine prospects for the 2024 NFL draft have been invited to the NFL Scouting Combine.

Projected top-five overall pick Marvin Harrison Jr. headlines a class of combine invitees from Ohio State that also includes running back Miyan Williams, tight end Cade Stover, offensive lineman Matt Jones, defensive tackle Mike Hall, linebackers Tommy Eichenberg and Steele Chambers and safety Josh Proctor.

The only member of last year’s Ohio State football team expected to be in the 2024 NFL draft class who was not invited to the combine was wide receiver/running back Xavier Johnson.

It’s the second year in a row that Ohio State has had exactly eight combine invitees.

OHIO STATE HAS NOW HAD MORE FIRST-ROUND PICKS AT WIDE RECEIVER THAN ANY OTHER SCHOOL​

Time and time again, Ohio State has proven that it *is*, in fact, WRU.

The beginning of the 2024 NFL draft on Thursday night was just another example.

With Marvin Harrison Jr. going to the Arizona Cardinals as the fourth-overall pick, he not only became Ohio State's highest-draft wide receiver ever but the 12th Buckeye wide receiver selected in the first round of the NFL draft, surpassing the Tennessee Volunteers for the most by any school.

OHIO STATE FIRST-ROUND WIDE RECEIVERS IN NFL DRAFT
YEAR PLAYER PICK
2024 Marvin Harrison Jr. 4th
2023 Jaxon Smith-Njigba 20th
2022 Garrett Wilson 10th
2022 Chris Olave 11th
2007 Ted Ginn Jr. 9th
2007 Anthony Gonzalez 32nd
2006 Santonio Holmes 25th
2004 Michael Jenkins 29th
1999 David Boston 8th
1996 Terry Glenn 7th
