Once a Buckeye, always a Buckeye. Across the Shield follows those who once wore Scarlet and Gray on their journeys through the NFL.
Carlos Hyde runs wild in London
Carlos Hyde took a trip across the pond and he absolutely went off in London.
Since entering the league in 2014, Hyde has bounced around from San Francisco to Cleveland to Jacksonville to Kansas City and finally Houston.
Hyde has flashed at times this season, but it was his performance across the pond that made him really stand out. Guapo had his best game of the year in the Texans 26-3 win over the Jaguars in London. The power back had 160 yards on 19 carries and he SHOULD have had a touchdown.
High and tight, Carlos.
Jerome and Raekwon get their first win of the season
It's been a long season for Miami
Often the butt of the league's jokes this season, the Dolphins were the ones laughing this week after defeating AFC East rival New York for their first win of the season.
It was only fitting that the Dolphins were led by two of few bright spots this season – the pair of former Ohio State linebackers and Buckeye teammates Jerome Baker and Raekwon McMillan.
The pair finished with seven and eight tackles respectively and made it a long day for Jets quarterback Sam Darnold.
Baker, whose really starting to find his stride, may have found another talent: Fortune telling.
After the Dolphins put up a fight against the Steelers last week on Monday night football, a game were Baker had nine tackles and a forced fumble, the second year player called his shot prior to Sunday's game.
Dwayne struggles in his first start
It wasn't all happiness this week for Ohio State greats as Dwayne Haskins struggled in his first start for the Redskins.
The rookie was 15/22 for 144 yards in Washington's 22-9 loss to Buffalo. Haskins has yet to throw for a touchdown, but on a bright note he didn't turn the ball over.
And he had a few nice plays like these:
Dwayne will be fine and his struggles aren't all on him, but his rookie season hasn't exactly been stelar up to this point.
Curtis Samuel strikes again
It's no secret that Buckeyes make excellent receivers in the NFL and Curtis Samuel is no exception.
The former H-back has transitioned well into his wideout role for the Carolina Panthers. So far this season, Samuel has hauled in 30 passes for 407 yards and three touchdowns, including this one he had on Sunday against the Titans.
It's crazy to think he came into Ohio State as a running back, and now he's mossing NFL cornerbacks.
