A long NFL season is getting ever closer to everything culminating in Super Bowl LVII. If we’re talking NFL players and teams, we’re also most likely watching some former Ohio State players come to you on a HDTV or streaming device.
That’s surely still the case at the end of a 2022 season that saw many scarlet-and-gray-wearing players play prominent roles in this year’s run-up to the big game in Glendale, Arizona. In fact, six former Buckeyes (seven if you count Joe Burrow) are ready to dress up and try to pound their tickets to the sport’s biggest annual sporting event.
Here’s a look at all those former Buckeyes and how to watch them in NFL conference championship games on Sunday.
