The New Orleans Saints love their Ohio State players, and two former Buckeyes find themselves on Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton’s list of the best teammates in the NFL draft in the last 10 years.
Moton crafted this list due to Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter being possible top-3 selections. They found themselves second on the list. Saints wide receiver Chris Olave and defensive end Chase Young also made the list.
The Saints selected Olave in the 2022 NFL draft, but Garrett Wilson was the first Ohio State receiver off the board one pick prior. There was some debate on which receiver was better, with Wilson having the better closing season. Being selected back-to-back shows how much of a toss up the debate was. The duo ranked fifth on Moton’s list
Young, originally drafted by the Washington Commanders, and teammate Jeffery Okudah were drafted in the first three picks in 2019. This tandem hasn’t panned out nearly as expected, but they were highly productive as Buckeyes. Young was fourth in the Heisman race and Okudah was a lockdown cornerback. As far as collegiate teammates, it’s hard to get much better than that. They found themselves second on the list, highlighting the focus on the players as prospects opposed to professional production.
