Buckeyes in the NFL: Notable former Ohio State football players Week 11 offensive performances

The Ohio State Buckeyes are coming off an insanely impressive victory over a top ten ranked Michigan State Spartans in which the Buckeyes rolled, 56-7, and now we are on to face The Team Up North. With the Michigan Wolverines also ranked inside the top ten, this is sure to be a game for the ages.

Now I don’t want to just jump into rivalry week, I want to take Sunday to do what we do every week and reflect on the success of all of the former Ohio State stars playing in the NFL. This list is so big we have to split it into two and this list will dive into the offensive portion first.
