INDIANAPOLIS — “The minute you walk into Ohio State, you're tested physically and mentally. You're pushed to your limits and it forces you to evolve as a person and as a player.”
Noah Brown cited that and more as to why he decided to make the jump to the pros despite only three years playing college football — one he spent injured. But teammates Curtis Samuel and Cameron Johnston feel the same way.
Those three former Buckeyes met the media on Friday at the Indianapolis Convention Center as part of the 2017 NFL Combine. The videos shown above were part of their media sessions shot by Eleven Warriors.
Below are specific quotes from each about why Ohio State and Urban Meyer should be considered the best at preparing football players for the next step in their lives. Whether it be in the NFL or elsewhere. Samuel noted all the talent the Buckeyes sent last year to the NFL. Johnston called it the "best decision of his life" to move from Australia to Columbus. And Brown spoke about how well players from the program succeed as pros in all walks of life.
