Ex-Buckeyes Find Home In NFL

Ready to go
When all of the undrafted free agents saw that the lockout was lifted, their agents quickly moved to action, and just about a day later they had homes. Some big names like Dane Sanzenbacher and Justin Boren were quickly taken off the free agent list. Now we get to see how they turn out in the NFL. So let's take a look at who was drafted and where they ended up.

- Dane Sanzenbacher, Chicago Bears
- Devon Torrence, Minnesota Vikings
- Brandon Saine, Green Bay Packers
- Dexter Larimore, New Orleans Saints
- Justin Boren, Baltimore Ravens
- Bryant Browning, St. Louis Rams

I really wanted Sanzenbacher for the Bengals, but it's a smart move for him to go to Chicago, because he'll get a lot of playing time with the thin lines of the Bears receiving core. I'm really interested to see if he can have a break out year in the next couple of years. I think it's interesting that the Packers signed Brandon Saine, and I have to think he will some sort of a returner, but I don't see him in a running back role in the NFL. Justin Boren is going to be a fantastic lineman for the Ravens, and could fit in nicely with the running game-style of play. I really think these group of guys will do well in the NFL, and we can't wait to see them on Sundays.

It's Officially Official, Ohio State Says Pryor Isn't Coming Back

While this was fairly obvious, apparently the NFL was waiting on word from the NCAA that Pryor was eligible for the supplemental draft. Now that we know he is set to move on, the question is where he will end up.


Ohio State made it official on Tuesday that former Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor could not have played at any time during the 2011 season and also banned him from any contact with the school's athletic program for the next five years.


Ending speculation that Pryor had not met the NFL's requirements for a supplemental draft, Pryor's lawyer sought and received a letter from Ohio State stating that he would not have been eligible even after his five-game suspension to start the season.
