S Caleb Downs, Captain (All B1G, B1G DB of year, B1G DPOY, 2X Unanimous All American, LOTT Trophy, Thorpe Award, National Champion)

In all reality him staying means we’d be spending something like $8M on 2 players and neither are the QB. His value is just too high for college ball. Salary cap in the NFL is more than 10x what college teams can spend.

Not my money.
No salary cap.

If we give naming rights to or NIL to celebs will we have Caleb Downs brought to you by lebron james NIL?

Why in the world would he come back?

Why in the world would he come back?

Because you're only young once and had the rest of his life to work for a living. He's playing for a living in college and loves emerge he's at. Sometimes you can't put a price on that. Actually getting a grip while he's doing it also is certainly a huge bonus

This shouldn't even be a decision. I'd love for him to come back. Would beg for it.

He absolutely shouldn't come back unless he's getting bad NFL feedback. Day should lock his ass out of the Woody.

 

[Bestbuck36]

He's the best player I've seen in college so he has nothing left to prove at this level

It would be an all time level shocker if he did.

 

[Onebuckfan]

He’s a safety ..5-10 is where can go in the draft. He won’t be on a poor team.

Replace the Jets stuff with OSU imagery.

Early first round money is what, 20-30 million? And from what recollect, mostly guaranteed? Even taking away 10% for an agent, still leaves a bunch to invest/bank. Hopefully these kids get a NFL lesson on spending, as the NIL Lambo's are staying in state with the college team. After the obligatory new house for M&D, and hopefully, hire an honest business manager, should set up for future. NFL career lengths vary, but are woefully short - injury, next-best-thing, drafted over, etc. Maybe there was a college class on 'handling money 101' for NIL cash?

The Buckeye Grove is quickly turning into a forest.

To the NFL. Congrats to Caleb and thanks from a grateful Buckeye nation!

Malcolm Jenkins and Caleb Downs. My favorite number #2 Ohio State Jersey and two of my all-time favorite Buckeyes.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for leaving it all out on the field for the Buckeyes every single game until the final whistle!

I’d add Mike Doss to that list but agree otherwise.

I’d add Mike Doss to that list but agree otherwise.

I’d add Cris Carter. 2 has been an all time great Buckeye number to wear.
