As you may have heard, several Ohio State players put on dazzling displays at the NFL Combine. In addition to their stellar performances, some of the Buckeye standouts got to spend time around a pair of retired Ohio football heroes.
Never stop sharing wisdom!

It was a difficult regular season for the Ohio State men's basketball team, but the Buckeyes have caught fire at the Big Ten tournament. After hanging on to beat Wisconsin in the first round, 13th-seeded Ohio State then upset No. 5 seed Iowa before picking off fourth-seeded Michigan State. The Buckeyes will look to punch their ticket to the title game when they play No. 1 seed Purdue on Saturday afternoon.

Last but not least, Greg Oden opened up about the disappointment of his injury-riddled NBA career, and people made sure to remind him of how special of a person he is and how dominant of a player he was.
One of the best dudes I know! When healthy he dominated the game with ease. https://t.co/bJLgMc0Xb5
