Ohio State's 2022 Pro Day is here.
108 scouts and representatives from NFL teams across the country flocked to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Wednesday to get an in-person look at 10 Buckeyes hoping to begin their NFL careers.
Haskell Garrett, Antwuan Jackson, Demario McCall, Thayer Munford, Chris Olave, Nicholas Petit-Frere, Tyreke Smith, Master Teague III, Garrett Wilson, and Chris Booker were Ohio State's 10 participants with C.J. Stroud and Cardale Jones also in attendance to throw passes to the Buckeye receivers.
Here's what went down.
Jeremy Ruckert Does Not Participate
Jeremy Ruckert was initially set to participate in Ohio State's pro day, but he arrived with a walking boot and was not able to showcase his talents on Wednesday. Ruckert also missed the NFL combine while dealing with plantar fasciitis in his foot.

Is Garrett Wilson officially faster than Chris Olave?
