It may be the offseason, but the #content gods continue to bless Ohio State fans. Bruce Feldman of Sports Illustrated dropped a great look at Urban Meyer's new focus on his players' mental health Tuesday.

Today, Pete Thamel dropped an article on his day spent at Buckeye practice with Miami Dolphins scout Ron Brockington. It's part of Thamel's behind-the-scenes series with the Dolphins scouting department.

The background information is just as important. Midway through practice, Ohio State director of player personnel Mark Pantoni sees Brockington’s Dolphins logo and strikes up a conversation. They chat enthusiastically about former Buckeye Raekwon McMillan, the Dolphins linebacker who has become the breakout star of training camp. They sound like two proud football uncles, as there’s a hint of pride in both of their voices — Pantoni was part of his recruitment out of high school — as they recall his high character and love of football.

Brockington enthusiastically agreed that having such a positive experience in scouting McMillan means the Dolphins would be open to taking more Buckeyes in the future.

“The information, work ethic and culture was right,” Brockington says.

Again, this is rare access granted to trusted media lieutenants and definitely worth a #click.
