Five former Buckeyes participated in this year's NFLPA Rookie Premier where they were educated in the business and marketing aspect of their new careers.
From NFLPA.com:
Forty-one top rookies from the 2016 NFL Draft class will gather in Los Angeles from May 19-21 to learn the business of football at the 22nd annual NFLPA Rookie Premiere, presented by Panini America. More than 20 NFLPA business partners will be on site to engage with the newest group of promising NFL stars to secure endorsement deals, create unique brand content and promote product lines through the utilization of NFL group player rights.
The most exciting part of the event was the opportunity to wear the official Nike uniforms of their new NFL team for a photoshoot and some fun.

There appears to be a fair bit of blue among these unis, but I think Buckeye Nation will let it slide just this once.
