NFL scouts impressed by Ohio State: ‘This team is a monster’
Published:
Ohio State has been receiving a lot of recognition over the last two weeks. After a 48-7 win over Nebraska and a 34-10 victory over Michigan State, many believe the Buckeyes are the most talented team in the country.
Even a few NFL scouts are extremely impressed by what they’ve seen so far out of Columbus.
The 2019 Ohio State team is already drawing comparisons to the 2015 group, and some believe this team would easily take down reigning national champion Clemson. Paul Finebaum said a matchup between the Buckeyes and Tigers “would not be that close,” in favor of Ohio State.
At least one NFL scout agrees.
“I’ve seen both Ohio State and Clemson,” one scout told Yahoo’s Pete Thamel. “Ohio State would definitely beat Clemson.”
Another scout weighed in with even more praise of the Buckeyes.
“This is the most talent that Ohio State has had since 2015,” he said. “They’re talented, they’re deep and they play really hard. This team is a monster.”
So far, the Buckeyes have looked pretty monstrous. They’ve posted wins by at least three touchdowns in all six games. They’re off to a perfect 6-0 start and 3-0 in B1G play. Nobody has slowed this group down.
With Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan still on the schedule, Ohio State still has a few tests remaining. So far, though, it has passed every test with flying colors.
