This Week in Twitter is a look at some of the week's best and most entertaining tweets from Buckeyeland and beyond.
The week's big story was NFL analysts feuding over quarterback C.J. Stroud's potential heading into the NFL. Stroud, who many think is the best pure passer in Ohio State history, had no shortage of support from his coaches and other Buckeyes.

Speaking of the NFL, former Arizona Cardinals GM Steve Keim shared a hilarious story of meeting Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa ahead of the 2019 NFL Draft.
“He puts his arm around me, and Kliff Kingsbury, both of us basically in a headlock, and he said, 'I think you guys are going to end up taking that little quarterback, and if you do, Steve, I will haunt you for the rest of your career.'”
Nick Bosa to Kliff and Keim after visiting in 2019: "I think you guys are probably going to take that little QB and if you do I will haunt you for the rest of your career."

Per NFL rules, a player has to buy out the existing inventory of his old jersey from distributors if he wants to change the same season. There's no buy-out mandate if players give 1-year notice.https://t.co/FwthU6H84G
