So, what Buckeye do you think would've or should've been an all-time great NFL player that wasn't?

I thought Chris Wells had the size, strength and speed to top 10,000 yards rushing in the NFL for his career. I always said that with an *asterisk with the caveat "barring injury." I guess I could say the same about Keith Byars too, but his OSU career was a couple years before my time. I heard he dropped a weight-plate on his foot while working out (broken foot) and that essentially robbed him of his speed. He was still a great pro and made himself a valuable player for many years.

So, I say Byars and Wells could have been to multiple Pro Bowls if things had worked out for them if not for injury.
