Week 2 of the NFL season has finally kicked off. While we are waiting for the Ohio State Buckeyes to kick off Big Ten conference play against the Wisconsin Badgers, it is fun to sit back and watch how former Ohio State players wreck it in the National Football League.
We are incredibly blessed to be Buckeye fans because there are so many talented players that we enjoy on Sunday after watching current Ohio State players on Saturday. The list of former Buckeyes is so large we have to split this list into two with offense and defense.
The following are former offensive Ohio State football players who made a splash during Week 2 of the NFL.
