Ryan Shazier was an absolute stud at Ohio State.
The former Buckeyes LB dominated his sophomore and junior seasons especially — in 2012 and 2013 — which helped improve his draft stock, becoming a first round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Shazier was truly coming into his own with the Steelers before suffering a spinal injury in 2017. He since hasn’t played football, but that doesn’t stop him from talking football with his teammates.
Jesse James, Marcus Allen and Malik Gooden are currently members of the Steelers and attended Penn State. Shazier, of course, took this opportunity to make a bet with the three former Nittany Lions.
Here was the result, thanks to the Buckeyes’ 27-26 victory:
Yep, that has to sting if you’re a former Penn State player.
