None of Ohio State's draft prospects will be attending next week's NFL draft in Cleveland, but two of them will be participating virtually.
Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields and guard Wyatt Davis are both on the list of 45 players who will be virtual participants in next week's draft, which means they will be featured on the draft's television broadcast and across NFL Media properties even though they will not be on site.
While past drafts have often had more than 20 players in the green room to hear their names called in person, only 13 prospects will be attending this year's draft.
