To me, a football guy is more than a football player. A football guy maximizes his position.
He is all about making a play. He knows the playbook. He eats right. He prepares. He is dedicated to improving his skillset and his team. His head's in the game. When he's on the field he exhibits leadership, like an on-field coach.
I submit Ezekiel Elliot as an example of a football guy: He could make a play as a runner, receiver and blocker.
Master Teague III is also a football guy.
Name some Buckeye football guys, past and present.
