Who is your favorite Ohio St. Football Player?

[popmaz]

I live in Ohio and I am NOT a Buckeye fan! But I am curious as to who people like. Post your all time favorite Buckeye player. I am just curious and thought it may be fun.

[mrmojorisin71]

For me, easily Eddie George but I was a big Orlando Pace fan too....however I'm a canes and uh Cougars fan

[bigmick33]

Mike Doss, Ted Ginn, and now Ezekiel Elliott

[ForTheQuinn94]

I'm not that old, but Eddie George is/was one of my favorite running backs. I think that is a good choice.

[jasonm2121]

def PeeWee

[cbuskstwar]

Chris Spielman, easily for what he did on the field and what he is doing off the field with his wife's cancer foundation.

[bucknut27]

Tough question.....
Eddie George
Mike Doss
Brian Rolle
Cardale Jones

[Pbudd88]

My best friend is a UM grad so he'd probably scream at this question. A die hard Seahawks fan and didn't even root for Joey Galloway. Me? I'd say Cris Carter.

[popmaz]

For what it is worth, I was a huge Shawn Springs and Chris Gamble fan, but My favorite is Pepe Pearson, played against him in HS.

[JOAKIMCOLLECTOR]

Troy Smith

Springs was so good

[ka13cards]

Troy smith

"The Toe"

:flex:

[IronMonkey415]

I like Dan Herron

[sportscards0513]

Zeeeeeeeekkkkeee. I am a student here currently.

[rats60]

Santonio Holmes

[jlcherry2477]

I enjoyed watching Big Kat while he was at Ohio, but he had a short lived NFL career...

[CubKings]

I'd go with Cris Carter, Eddie George and Robert Smith. May be forgetting someone as I don't follow college ha

[88horsepower]

As far as former Colts go, Mike Doss is up there. Guy was a solid tackler.

Non Colts - Orlando Pace. Easily, one of the best OT's of my generation. Close second would be Shawn Springs.

[FBallHobbies]

Was always a big Joey Galloway fan. One of the fastest receivers I have seen live.

[Dust]

Robert Smith, never watched him as college player but loved watching him play as a Viking.

[popmaz]

Robert Smith, never watched him as college player but loved watching him play as a Viking.

He was awesome at Euclid as well.........

[jackmac1983]

Loved watching Troy smith and Ted Ginn together

[CardCollector]

To name a few: Mike Doss, Eddie George and Braxton Miller. I loved Donnie Nickey as I knew him for personal reasons. I've also heard stories about what Jack Tatum was like but never even saw him play unfortunately !

[Nuuk]

Can't put into words how much I hate OSU. But big props and respect to Spielman, Big Katz and Lauranitis. Great college LBs.

[Seahawks fan]

Non Seahawk would be Orlando Pace

Seahawks would be these guys

[LordLansdowne]

Randy Gradishar

[Viking6]

Mike Doss

[asujbl]

Can my list be like 20 guys? It's so hard to pick when the turnover is so quick in College and you realize the last guy you saw, that you thought was amazing, and you ignore the guys that are older.

You watch highlights of Teddy Ginn, and how absolutely insane he was in College, and you realize Joey Galloway and Terry Glenn were doing it first.

Zeke? Beanie Wells, Robert Smith, Eddie George, Maurice Clarett...

I could do that with every position naming the players I loved watching.

It's hard because you can't ignore the Pros even if you try. Someone like Beanie Wells will be penalized for that... and if you watch college highlights? Holy crap was he a monster

[mr10pin]

Keith Byars. Loved that guy.

He got absolutely screwed by not winning the Heisman in 1984. Doug Flutie wasn't even the best QB that year. :mad:

[chasacar86]

Vernon Gholston

[Siberian13]

Charles Woodson :)

[Daniel777]

Maurice Clarett, by far.

[Slette]

I'm an Iowa fan, but James Laurinaitis is probably top-three all-time Big Ten non-Hawkeye favorites for me.

[jsab48]

Troy Smith.

Zeke is creeping up though. Hope he has a monster NFL career.

[MC80_LCM]

Not an Ohio State fan but was a big David Boston fan. He was such a physical freak, too bad that a lot of it had to do with roids.

[herdfan87]

Kurt Coleman, because I enjoyed yelling at him through the TV during his Eagle days. He also gave Trent Richardson his only NFL highlight when he got trucked.

But seriously, as much as I hate OSU, Malcolm Jenkins since he has come to the Eagles. Guy has been great for us on and off the field. Great leader out there as well.

[xXdirtyjoeXx]

Mike Vrabel is my favorite. Loved watching him play and was heartbroken when the Steelers drafted him.

Eddie George is my #2 with Hop-A-Long Cassidy as my #3. I met Cassidy when I was a teenager and enjoyed talking to him. Down to earth and a really nice guy. Still the only Heisman winner I have met.

[95jeffcat]

Andy Katzenmoyer

[95jeffcat]

This guy is a legend on the field and off. He was a captain of the 1942 national championship team and an all american, a World War II veteran, and a pioneer in the field of computer graphics

[asujbl]

I love how multiple Heisman Trophy winners haven't even been mentioned.

Plus guys that were #1 picks, like Dan Wilkinson, don't even get a thought

The group of guys, that were dominant college players (regardless of the Pros), is ridiculously deep

[bigmick33]

Nobody mentioning AJ Hawk surprises me

[starfox]

Not a Buckeye's fan, but I love Chris Carter.

Can't mention him as a "single" favorite player... but that Hawk/Carpenter/Schlegel grouping is right up there

[Jameis1of1]

For me it's a tie between Joey Galloway and Maurice Clarett ... Joey was one of the most dangerous deep threats the NFL has ever seen and Mo was just a rough and rugged monster NCAA RB

[sonnyday]

John Brockington! The smash mouth fullback for woody Hayes.

[hairysasquatch]

Chris Spielman, easily for what he did on the field and what he is doing off the field with his wife's cancer foundation.

I hate tOSU but have a lot of respect for Spielman who played his heart out for a crappy Lions franchise. He also manages to dial down the homerism to a degree as an announcer, much better than Herbie, who always talks crap but never beat Michigan on the field (0-3-1).

[Stifle]

As a Michigan man I respected the heck out of Chris Spielman ! I can't remember the other linebacker who was before Spielman and that player was a tackling MACHINE. Outside of the collision that took place in the 97 game between a Penn State TE and the Michigan Wolverine Safety, two of the ugliest collisions were when Willis M. was knee capped by a Buckeye and in a Bowl game roughly a decade ago, a cornerback from OSU just obliterated a wide receiver on a quick screen pass.

[pcbuck]

Mike Vrabel and Orlando Pace are my 2 favorites.

[Ross]

Eddie George, Orlando Pace, AJ Hawk, Will Smith, and Teddy Ginn would be my top 5

Willis McGahee,he was destined for NFL stardom prior to a major knee injury in his final NFL game.He was still drafted and performed well though.

I can't believe that Archie Griffin hasn't been brought up since he is the only 2-time Heisman Trophy winner and a 4-time conference champion. He is also the only 4 time starter in the Rose Bowl.

I guess the kids around here have no knowledge of their teams history...........

Gotta remember a lot of people in this forum never saw Archie play. I would bet 90% of this forum was born after 1980.

[bajan12]

My biggest would have to be Jack Tatum followed by Archie have had privilege of meeting him numerous times and he is as classy as they come.

[freethrowtommy]

I was one of the few Packers fans who liked A.J. Hawk. Classy dude, team first attitude, wasn't flashy, but never got hurt.

[Chaddie84]

I'd go with Cris Carter, Eddie George and Robert Smith. May be forgetting someone as I don't follow college ha

Exact same list. Watching MNF Vikings games, I would always remember CC emphasizing "THE Ohio State University" during the player introductions. Robert Smith retired too early :(.

[Cervantes]

I loved Galloway, but Eddie George is tops in my book. One of my personal favorites.

[maineroge]

Zeke Elliott. The best running back in the land.

[dfr52]

Kinda funny that his teammate Pete Johnson would be the better Pro.

[JohnRyno]

Stan White Jr.

I cant read sarcasm here if this is indeed what it is. I certainly hope this isnt a real response.

Also as the biggest hater of OSU im going to say they all stink. However you can't deny Eddie George or CC

[jtalsma83]

There aren't many I liked, but I always really liked Antoine Winfield after the way he played in the 1997 Michigan-OSU game

He was very underrated as a pro. A complete cb who played bigger than his size would indicate.
