This is really remarkable and, as much as anything they do on the field, should speak volumes about the kinds of players and people Ohio State is putting into the league.
If you don't know, each season every team nominates ONE player as the nominee for this award -- one player out of 53 -- for the "player's volunteer and charity work, as well as his excellence on the field". It's a considerable honor.
That means, of the more than 250 college represented in the NFL, 5 of the 32 teams (>16%) named someone from Ohio State as the one person on their roster nominated for this award.
