All potential early-round NFL draft picks, Paris Johnson Jr., Dawand Jones and Luke Wypler are on the cusp of becoming the first trio of Ohio State OL draftees since 2004.
Not one, not two, but three Ohio State offensive linemen are all but guaranteed to hear their names called in Kansas City this week.
Alex Stepanovich, Shane Olivea and Adrien Clarke all came off the board before the end of the draft in 2004, but none of the three were selected before the fourth round. Stepanovich was the highest pick of the bunch, going 100th overall to the Arizona Cardinals in round No. 4, while Olivea and Clarke went 209th and 227th overall, respectively. Both of the latter two were seventh-round picks.
“It’s awesome to be a part of this team, be a part of this organization. Honestly, the reason why Ohio State produces the way it does, it’s not just because we wear the logo and we’re gonna go to the NFL,” Johnson said. “I think it’s the people like Coach , Coach Frye, Mike Sollenne, Coach Day. It’s all the coaches in here. The logo does change a little bit, it’s that standard. It’s the standard you have to keep. So I think the coaches, the way they’ve done things, they’ve kept that standard up.
Jones said NFL draft evaluators have questioned him about his passion for the game but said he just tells them to “turn on the film.”
