The Ohio State football team took a field trip to Canton to Thursday.
The Buckeyes held their 14th practice of preseason camp at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium on Thursday morning, then toured the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the afternoon.

“This was a great opportunity for our team to bond,” Ryan Day said in a release from Ohio State. “For our players and staff to have the chance to learn more about the game of football at a place that’s right here in our own state is just an awesome thing.”
Several Ohio State players and staffers tweeted images from the day, including offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr. The experience was extra special for him because his father also played on the same field the Buckeyes practiced on Thursday.
crazy that almost exactly 20 years ago, my dad played his pre-season game at the Pro Football HOF field and I got the chance 20 years later to practice there on the same field.. pic.twitter.com/Xb9AKfKkji

For Ohio State freshmen Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jalen Pace, the trip to Canton was a chance to see their legendary fathers' Hall of Fame busts.
