Tracking former Ohio State players who made NFL rosters to begin 2024 season

COLUMBUS — NFL cut day was Tuesday, and the league forced its teams to get down to the 53-man roster limit. Former Ohio State players were on the right side of the cut line much more often than not, too.

A total of 49 Buckeyes made 53-man rosters, while two others begin the season on various exempt lists. That’s 49 former Ohio State players on NFL rosters, not even mentioning the former Buckeyes who transferred to other college programs before becoming pro football players.
