Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson feel well-prepared for the NFL because of the years they spent playing for Brian Hartline and “going against the best every day” at Ohio State.
Ohio State hasn’t had a wide receiver selected in the first round of the NFL draft since Ted Ginn Jr. and Anthony Gonzalez were both first-round picks in 2007, but it’s likely going to have two first-round wide receivers again this year.both widely projected
“When you go to a place like Ohio State, you compete with the best every day, you play with the best every day,” Olave said Wednesday. “Just going against the best every day and competing with myself, mostly in the weight room, on the field, and even in the classroom, I feel like I’ve been preparing for this for a couple years.”
“He’s a great teacher,” Wilson said. “He’s the type of person that will show you what he wants you to do. He’ll show you and back it up. Being three or four years removed from the league when I got there, he was really good at running routes still. He could run the routes and look like he was still playing. So that made it easy on us watching and trying to mimic that.”
But even though there could be teams deciding between drafting one of them or the other, Olave and Wilson will still be rooting for each other’s success when they work out on Thursday. Wilson also believes he was able to make his mark at Ohio State by mentoring the next generation of Buckeye receivers, such as rising sophomores Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka, though he was disappointed that his final season at Ohio State ended without a trip to the College Football Playoff.
“I gotta prove some people wrong on the 40,” Wilson said. “I’ve seen what people are saying about what they think I'm gonna run and I’m excited to get out there and do what I do.”
