Former Ohio State cornerback Marshon Lattimore arrived in Columbus from Cleveland Glenville as Ohio's top CB prospect in 2014.
Hamstring injuries caused him to miss 2014 as well as large swaths of 2015. Finally healthy in 2016, Lattimore exploded onto the scene with 45 tackles, four interceptions, and a touchdown.
A freak athlete, Lattimore declared for the 2017 NFL Draft rather than return to Ohio State. Many analysts consider him to be the top cornerback available in the draft.
Unfortunately for Lattimore, he's still an unknown to the point NFL teams and national media sites routinely get him confused with former OSU middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan... and H-Back Dontre Wilson, safety Damon Webb, and wide receiver Braxton Miller.
It started at the NFL Combine.
