Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson look to become Ohio State’s first Round 1 receivers since 2007 while Ohio State looks to continue its streak of drafts with at least seven picks.
Ohio State Draft Coverage:For Wilson and Olave, Thursday night will be a reflection of their illustrious Ohio State careers, in which they became two of the most prolific receivers in school history. Wilson is a candidate to be the first wideout drafted after he caught 143 passes for 2,213 yards and 23 touchdowns as a Buckeye, ranking among Ohio State’s top 10 receivers ever in all three categories despite playing only three seasons of college football.
“When you put in as much work as I have since a young kid and seeing people fall off in the game and people make it, it’s awesome to be able to say I’m one of the top receivers in this class,” Wilson said during anin December. “I mean, coming into college, all you can dream about and talk about is wanting to go to the NFL. So that was the ultimate goal since day one.”
“Growing up, you dream of this. You dream of being in this position today,” Olave said after Ohio State’s pro day. “So it’s a huge opportunity. I'm taking it day by day, trying to cherish it all, not take anything for granted … It’s a dream come true. Grew up watching the draft, watching the combine, watching everybody's pro day and finally being here, it’s a huge blessing, and I gotta take this opportunity and take off with it.
