There was no team in college football that had the kind of weapons at wide receiver that Ohio State fielded during the 2021 season. The combination of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson proved to be a nightmare for nearly every secondary on the schedule.

According to Pro Football Focus’ grades, Ohio State was the only team in the nation to have 3 wide receivers grade at 75 or higher for the season. It’s just further proof that the Buckeyes had one of the best units at the position for the season.

Olave was the team leader in touchdown catches, hauling in 13 for the year. Wilson wasn’t far behind with 12.
