Despite having yet to intercept a pass at Ohio State, Okudah has a chance to jump to the NFL with a strong junior year.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="4sVnNG">Click here to read: Jeffrey Okudah’s Rose Bowl Performance previews seemingly inevitable breakout season<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="RLQ2wz">3. J.K. Dobbins, Running Back, 5’9/217, Jr. (2nd Round)Once upon a time, Ohio State’s Mike Weber was considered a top prospect entering the 2017 season, but injuries opened the door for Dobbins, who set the Buckeyes program record for rushing yards by a true freshman, with 1,403 yards (seven touchdowns, 7.2 YPC). Last season, as Ohio State transitioned to more of a pass first offense under Dwayne Haskins, Dobbins YPC dropped to 4.6 (1,053 yards and 10 touchdowns).Rotoworld’s Hayden Winks adds that Dobbins has caught 48-of-56 career targets for 398 yards with just 2 drops. Winks writes, “Ohio State will sometimes put Dobbins at receiver (slot and wideout) and half of his targets last year were beyond the line of scrimmage, something that’s really rare for a college running back.”I can say that watching Dobbins on film is like watching a pinball machine, as he bounces off would-be tacklers. He runs with a good forward lean and finishes runs by falling forward. Like most Ohio State prospects, he is expected to test well at the NFL Combine. Dobbins’ high school SPARQ scores included running a 4.44 second forty time and a 43.1-inch vertical jump. Draft analyst Tony Pauline gave Harrison a first round grade over the summer, which may be a little optimistic given the strength of the 2020 running backs class. 4. Jordan Fuller, Safety, 6’2/205, Sr. (Round 2-3)Fuller surprised most when he announced he was returning for his senior season. He is a returning captain and was one of the more productive players on the defense each of the past two seasons. Fuller tied Harrison for the team lead in tackles last season with 81 (Fuller led the team with 61 solo stops). He also had 2.5 tackles-for-loss, one interception, two fumble recoveries and four pass break-ups. Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY SportsAfter starting 2017 as the “boundary” safety, who plays deeper in the Buckeyes’ scheme, in 2018 Fuller was playing “field safety”, which came with more coverage responsibilities. It was an adjustment that Fuller struggled with last season.Most insiders expect Ohio State to play play a lot of single high coverages in 2019, with Fuller being the lone deep safety. At 6-foot-2 and 204 pounds, Fuller possesses ideal safety size. He has experience playing both close to the line in man-coverage situations, and also being the deep center fielder and last line of defense.5. Malik Harrison, Linebacker, 6’3/251, Sr. (Round 2-4)In 2018, Harrison led all OSU defenders with 865 snaps. He tied Jordan Fuller for the team lead in tackles with 81, including 8.5 tackles-for-loss, with 2.5 sacks, and one interception.Draft analyst Tony Pauline gave Harrison a second round grade over the summer, while Dane Brugler ranked him as his 6th Senior LB prospect. 6. Thayer Munford, Offensive Tackle, 6’6/313 Chris Thompson Jersey , Jr. (Round 2-3)Munford started 13 games for Ohio State in 2018, and played the most snaps of anyone on the team who is returning in 2019.However, he missed the Rose Bowl with a back injury that required surgery in January and was held out of spring practice. With Washington potentially needing a new left tackle, Munford is one to watch. Not everyone is on board.Draft analyst Tony Pauline stamped Munford with just a third round grade, while his counterpart Dane Brugler ranked him as just his ninth underclassmen offensive tackle. I feel the best is yet to come for Munford, who is still just 19 years old entering his junior season. He will be the only full-time returning starter on the Buckeyes’ offensive line, and has all the tools to be a star when he’s fully healthy.7. Damon Arnette, Cornerback, 6’0/195, Red-Shirt Senior, (Round 2-4)Per PFF, Arnette logged 584 defensive snaps, had 40 tackles, one interception and six passes broken up in 2018. He enters his final season with 25 starts. Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY SportsOhio State corners are not supposed to stay four seasons, but Arnette is entering his fifth season in Columbus.Many around the Buckeyes’ program were expecting Arnette to move onto the NFL with Okudah and red-shirt sophomore Shawn Wade emerging as OSU’s top corners, but Ohio State alum, and NFL Hall of Fame receiver, Chris Carter has known Arnette since he was a young child, and advised him to return for his final season. 8. K.J. Hill, Wide Receiver, 6’0/198, RS-Sr. (Round 3-4) Hill doesn’t have the game-breaking speed of Curtis Samuel, Parris Campbell, or Terry McLaurin, but has had the Buckeyes’ most reliable hands since the days of Michael Thomas. Hill led Ohio State in receptions with 56 in 2017, and was second on the team to Campbell with 68 receptions on 93 targets (73.1 %catch rate) in 2018.Seemingly everyone thought Hill was going to head to the NFL in the ‘18 draft, with some in the draft media projecting him as high as the second round.Three of Ohio State’s top four receivers from last season have graduated, leaving Hill as OSU’s top returning pass catcher, and he only needs 48 catches to pass David Boston (191) as Ohio State’s career leader in receptions.Additionally, Hill was Ohio State’s primary punt returner in 2018, but isn’t really very explosive in that role.Rotoworld’s Hayden Winks points out that 80% of Hill’s receptions from last year were within 10 yards of the LOS before summarizing that “Hill profiles as a starting-caliber slot receiver with somewhat limited upside given his age, athleticism, production, and route tree.”9. Austin Mack, Wide Receiver, 6’2/215, Sr. (Round 4-5)Mack came to Ohio State as a top-100 prospect in the 2016 class, and received some Michael Thomas comparisons due to his size and playing style. He has shown a knack for making the higher degree of difficulty catches, and is said to be a more explosive athlete than Hill.There were flashes last year of what some felt Mack was going to be from the start, but injuries and inconsistency have tempered expectations. Mack was formerly a roommate of Dwayne Haskins, which could make Mack a nice day three selection for the Redskins. Mack enters his senior season with just 52 career receptions for 689 yards with three scores. He is coming off a serious foot injury Chris Thompson Jersey , and is moving from the “X” (split-end) to the “Z” (flanker) position for the 2019 season. 10. Robert Landers, Defensive Tackle, 6’0/285, RS-Sr. (Round 5-7)Now a veteran of 39 games, Landers started 11 of 14 games last season. For his career, he has 51 total tackles, 17.5 tackles-for-loss, a forced fumble and three quarterback hurries.An undersized NT, Landers’ low center of gravity allows him to win the leverage battle against most offensive linemen in college, but he is a fringe NFL prospect. 11. Tuf Borland, Inside Linebacker, 6’0/230, RS-Jr. (Round 5-7)Borland came to Ohio State as a 4-star outside linebacker prospect and has played in every game for the past two seasons.Borland suffered a ruptured Achillies in March of 2018, but did not miss a game for the Buckeyes during the ‘18 season. Now a fourth-year junior, Borland had nine starts as a freshman in 2017 and 11 in 2018. Loved by the coaches, Borland was named a captain prior to the 2018 season, and finished third on the team with 67 tackles. Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty ImagesHe was given a third round grade by draft analyst, Tony Pauline, but I am not so sure.Each of the past two seasons, Ohio State has gone out of it’s way to get Borland off the field in obvious passing situations, and that is not expected to change this season.Folks close to the program expect Baron Browning (6’3/248, Jr.) and Teradja Mitchell (6’2/242, Soph.)to make a push for Borland’s starting position. 12. Rashod Berry, Tight End, 6’4/255, RS-Sr. (Round 6-7) Ohio State actually has three players who could start at tight end, including Luke Farrell and Jeremy Ruckert, but I am predicting Berry will have the most impact in 2019. Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty ImagesBerry is an explosive athlete, who is said to be among the best on the team, but he has been relegated to being just a rotational player during his time at Ohio State.Now a fifth-year senior, Berry has one final shot to prove he is worth a draft pick. 13. Demario McCall RB/WR/KR, 5’9/195, Sr. (Round 6-UDFA) McCall might be the player left on the team with the closest skill set required to qualify for the “Percy Harvin position” (also filled by Braxton Miller, Curtis Samuel, and Parris Campbell), but that position may have left with Urban Meyer’s retirement.Photo by John Cordes/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesMcCall enters his final season with under 1000 all-purpose yards, but could see a bigger role as a 3rd down back in addition to his kickoff return duties. 14. Brendon White, Safety, 6’2/215, Jr. (Round 5-7)Seeing little playing time early in the year, White then capped the 2018 season by being named the defensive MVP in the Rose Bowl. He is expected to man Ohio State’s new “Bullet” position Morgan Moses Jersey , which is similar to Michigan’s “Viper” OLB/S hybrid that Jabrill Peppers made famous. Photo by Zach Bolinger/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesHe also has NFL bloodlines; he is the son of William White, who played eleven years in the NFL.While White improved throughout last season, he may not be a starter in 2019, and his role is unclear. He seems unlikely to declare with another season of eligibility remaining. Julio Jones set his sights on the end zone, twisted to break a tackle and lunged toward the promised land.A swarm of teammates rushed over from the sideline, jumping around in jubilation to celebrate the end of the star receiver's 12-game touchdown drought.Jones was back in the end zone where he belongs, and the Atlanta Falcons looked like the team they were predicted to be in a 38-14 blowout of the Washington Redskins on Sunday that extended their winning streak to three games."We're a brotherhood," said Jones, who made seven receptions for 121 yards and caught his first TD pass since Nov. 26, 2017."We support one another. If anybody scores, I'm trying to be the first one over there. Nobody hates on each other on this team. Everybody loves when other people go out here and excel and make plays."The Falcons (4-4) made plenty of plays in flexing their offensive muscles with the kind of balanced attack they've lacked in an injury-marred season that so far has failed to live up to expectations. Matt Ryan completed 26 of 38 passes for 350 yards and four touchdowns, including the 35-yard screen to Jones that set off a team-wide celebration.Even though losing four of its first five games didn't give Atlanta much to celebrate, putting up 491 yards on Washington has players excited about their current position and what more they can accomplish this season."The start to the season was not what we were looking for, but we're halfway through it, we're 4-4 and we're in the mix," said Ryan, who had touchdown passes of 39 and 10 yards to running back Tevin Coleman and a 40-yarder to rookie receiver Calvin Ridley ."The good football teams that I've been a part of in my career are the ones that have gotten better as the year's gone along. Halfway through, I think we're a better football team than we were at the start and we've got to keep it trending in that direction."Nowhere is that progress more evident than on the ground, where Coleman ran for 80 yards and Ito Smith had 66 yards and a rushing touchdown. The Falcons surpassed 100 yards rushing for the first time since Week 2."The big guys, they put the work in," said coach Dan Quinn, whose team didn't punt until midway through the third quarter and converted its first eight third-down opportunities. "We know we are at our best when both the run game and our pass game are in balance. And today we had that, and the results were there."Atlanta's 30th-ranked defense did its part, too, holding Washington to 35 first-quarter yards and making a crucial stop after Ryan was picked off by Quinton Dunbar 鈥?just the quarterback's third interception this season.The NFC East-leading Redskins (5-3) could blame poor tackling, ill-timed penalties and a series of injuries along the offensive line for the end of their three-game winning streak.Already without left tackle Trent Williams after surgery to repair his dislocated right thumb, Washington lost left guard Shaun Lauvao to a left knee injury, right guard Brandon Scherff to a left shoulder injury and struggled to stop the Falcons when it mattered."It wasn't the preparation, just the executing," Washington safety D.J. Swearinger said. "Got to be better. Got to be disciplined. Got to be disciplined in our efforts."Swearinger and other players blamed officials for part of the Redskins' disciplinary trouble that added up to 10 penalties for 147 yards.Adrian Peterson was held to 17 yards on nine carries a week after rushing for 149 yards at the New York Giants. Alex Smith was 30 of 46 for 306 yards, an interception and a touchdown pass to Josh Doctson.KAZEE'S PICK AND THROWFalcons safety Damontae Kazee effectively ended any chances of a Redskins comeback when he picked off Smith with about seven minutes left. After the play, Kazee ran toward the corner of the stadium full of Falcons fans and did his best Ryan impression by throwing the ball to the top of the lower deck.Kazee said he was trying to get the ball to his nephew in that corner of the stands and isn't worried about punishment."I get fined every week," Kazee said. "I don't care."SMITH'S RUNAs inconsequential as Washington's ground game was, Smith had its longest gain of the day on a scramble that helped set up a touchdown. With Peterson blocking for him, the 34-year-old picked up 22 yards before being stopped on a crushing shoulder-to-shoulder hit from Brian Poole at the Atlanta 19.INJURIESFalcons: Calvin Ridley was cleared to return after being evaluated for a head injury. ... K Matt Bryant missed his second consecutive game with a right hamstring injury, and CB Robert Alford was out with an ankle injury, the first game he has missed since 2015.Redskins: Played stretches without three-fifths of their starting offensive line and lost Lauvao to a potentially serious knee injury. Lauvao injured his left knee on the third play of the game, was taken off the sideline in a wheelchair and did not return. RT Morgan Moses injured his right knee in the first quarter before returning in the second. Coach Jay Gruden said Lauvao and Scherff would have MRIs Monday. ... Dunbar left twice with leg injuries. ... TE Jordan Reed left briefly with a neck injury.UP NEXTFalcons: Aim for their fourth win in a row when they visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.Redskins: Look to rebound at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
