And that tied an all-time record for the school's 135 year football history, and represents 20.5% of all active OSU players in the NFL. Best not to use statistical extremes to make your point.

14 Ohio State players were chosen in the 2025 draft alone, and that doesn’t include underclassmen on the 2024 roster who will declare in future years. 

 

Just for comparison:

In the 2024 UFL season, over 77 UFL players signed with NFL teams, representing more than 19% of the players who participated in the UFL season. The UFL had 400 players in the 2024 season. Additionally, the UFL announced that 21 UFL players are currently on NFL rosters. 

 

How bad can UFL players be if almost 20% get NFL camp invites?

I didn't, and you changed a variable to "starting" to try to disprove my point. Even using your preferred metric, 82% of Ohio State's starting lineup is future salesman or Amazon delivery drivers. Maybe that's actually worse than 95% of the entire roster.
 

And that would be an incorrect thing to think. 7 total Ohio State players "got a chance" in the NFL. (4 on active roster). None had their rights drafted by the UFL. Steele Chambers (what a name), is the lone member of the Ohio State 2024 class currently in the UFL. That's 5 players across two leagues.

I never changed the variable, I said “starting lineup” in my first post. My point is if the NFL drafted 14 Ohio State players, I think Ohio State might be able to beat a UFL team. That was the original topic. Some of those guys will be NFL starters, and the rest will be UFL level guys. The UFL doesn’t have any NFL starting caliber players, so why couldn’t OSU beat a UFL team? How is 82% of OSU’s starting lineup future salesmen if 14 guys got drafted this year? I don’t get your math, but I appreciate your take, I just disagree.

This is a statistical extreme, that’s a good point, but I think it’s going to be common in the NIL world of college football. I’ve noticed the NFL draft increasingly dominated by several college teams.
