Battling a series of injuries throughout what turned into a championship-laden senior season didn't halt former Ohio State tight end Jeff Heuerman from hearing his named called in the 2015 NFL Draft.
We've picked Jeff Heuerman, a very experienced TE from Ohio State. He brings the right mentality & was the top guy on our board at the time.

One of the four captains on Ohio State's 2014 national championship team, Heuerman was selected by the Denver Broncos with the 92nd overall pick in the third round of the draft.
Heuerman was one of the top performers on the bench press at the 2015 NFL Combine, sports solid hands and is a stellar run blocker. He finished his final season at Ohio State with 17 receptions for 207 yards and two touchdowns, splitting time with Nick Vannett.
Heuerman is the first Ohio State tight end to be selected in the NFL Draft since Ben Hartsock was taken by the Indianapolis Colts in 2004.
Heuerman is slated to team up with former teammate Bradley Roby and future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning.
