Jeff Okudah made it public knowledge during the NFL Scouting Combine this year that Ohio State isn’t worried about the title “Defensive Back U” when it comes to nicknames. The Buckeyes operate under another moniker, “Best in America.”

In this year’s draft, Ohio State had two defensive backs drafted in the first round — Okudah and Damon Arnette. With those two selections, the Buckeyes have produced 31 defensive backs who have been selected in the NFL Draft since 2000. That’s the most of any team in college football.

Ohio State wanted to make the message clear. Below is the video the Buckeyes dropped earlier this week:
