What is Mel Kiper known for? The NFL Draft.

He studies college football players all year long so that he can talk about it for one weekend each year. Quite the job, huh? Well, if you’re that dedicated to knowing about what can happen during one weekend each calendar year, you should probably know your stuff.

And, Kiper does.

In his latest 2020 NFL Draft Big Board, Kiper ranked and gave brief descriptions of each top 25 prospect as we enter Week 8 of the college football season. Kiper has three current Buckeyes making up his top 25 as well as a former Ohio State player, too:

2. Chase Young, DE, OSU

4. Jeffrey Okudah, CB, OSU

12. Joe Burrow, QB, LSU

25. J.K. Dobbins, RB, OSU

Joe Burrow is the former Buckeye that appears in Kiper’s top 25 and has risen in Heisman Trophy talks this season thanks to his play over at LSU.

Kiper’s descriptions for each of the four players listed above, as well as his entire top 25 can be found here (ESPN subscription).
