JSN and Marvin Harrison Jr or Nick Bosa and Chase Young. The top 2 receivers and the top 2 defensive linemen in the country during their respective years. The former looked like a duo where there was absolutely no school able to guard either of them without a double team. Add in the likes of CJ Stroud, Egbuka, our stable of running backs and a stout offensive line, the 2022 Buckeyes may have had the best offense of all time. With how great Marvin Harrison Jr played, people forgot how good JSN was. I think he's gonna be in the running for rookie of the year.

With Chase Young and Bosa, the defense they were apart of wasn't nearly as talented as the 2022 Buckeye offense, but I believe these 2 players together would've raised the play of unit as a whole. Before Bosa got hurt against TCU, he looked like the best player in the nation. The following season in 2019, Chase Young had the best single season for a Buckeye defensive lineman ever while Nick Bosa won defensive rookie of the year and already one of the 5 best defenders in all of the NFL.

So if I had to pick either, it would be Bosa and Young for the simple fact that it's more rare having elite pass rushing, let alone the top 2 pass rushers in the country on the same team. I know other schools have some "what ifs" but no school has had as many as Ohio State in the last decade.
