| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey, where you been, look I've talked, it's about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in. |
| 0:29.0 | Welcome back to another week of Buckeye Talk, it's Doug Lamaries, it's Nathan Baird, it's Steven Means, it's the Tuesday podcast, we go Tuesday through Saturday now, you guys know that. |
| 0:39.0 | And we're going to play off the Super Bowl where it's like the last, you know, like football's over. So we're going to hold on to the last vestiges of an actual football game. And we're going to talk about NFL Buckeyes today. |
| 0:51.0 | And what I think is an interesting way and we have our textures involved, we're ranking the 10 best Buckeyes in the NFL. And what I think is fun about this for listeners, Nathan, is there are a lot of them. |
| 1:03.0 | This is not like, oh man, I had a hard time finding 10, this is like, you're waiting through like legitimately like 30 to 40 impactful NFL guys who put it Ohio State. |
| 1:14.0 | Yeah, I mean, I think you can go at least like 25 strong of guys who are not just in the NFL, but are like doing good things in the NFL. |
| 1:22.0 | Some of them maybe waiting a little bit at the bottom of that list, but I mean, certainly like 20 strong of guys that like if they were to make a top 10, I wouldn't think it was like ridiculous. |
| 1:31.0 | Not guys who are getting cut at the end of the training camp, like all prototype players. |
| 1:36.0 | All those guys. Yeah. |
| 1:38.0 | There are, I counted up using PFF. |
| 1:43.0 | Like the number of defenders who played at least 100 snaps. And there were 20 of them from Ohio State. |
| 1:55.0 | And that was 2.8% of the defenders in the NFL who played at least 100 snaps were from Ohio State. |
| 2:01.0 | So that's like, and that's a wide range. And that's including like Nick Bosa was hurt basically the whole year. |
| 2:07.0 | Malik Hooker was hurt basically the whole year. Those are like two big time guys from Ohio State who were not a factor in the NFL this year. |
| 2:14.0 | And then on the offensive side of the ball, you got, I had one, two, three, four, five, six offensive linemen that played at least 400 snaps. |
| 2:24.0 | You had, you know, like probably about eight to 10 skill guys who are really important. |
| 2:29.0 | And the one place that's interesting, which is why Justin Fields is such an interesting part of Ohio State football is you're still a little short of QB. |
| 2:36.0 | It's like Twain Haskins. You thought Twain Haskins was going to like sort of fix this and he got cut. |
| 2:42.0 | And so, you know, he's not a top 10 player in the NFL. So at the end, I did put this together just for the heck of it. |
| 2:48.0 | I put together my Ohio State starting 22 in the NFL. And I will reveal that at the end. I think everybody, everybody's would be basically the same. |
| 2:58.0 | But we can say like, do you think in people have done this? Could they win a Super Bowl, which is like, well, you know, who could win a Super Bowl by the way? |
| 3:04.0 | And I think Steven, you tweeted about this last night, LSU, like LSU guys were all over this Super Bowl. |
