Joe Burrow of
Athens (The Plains) — enhancing the Buckeye State's reputation as one of
the nation's leading gridiron pipelines.
Since 2001, 22 different
schools in Ohio have produced at least three NFL Draft picks and five schools have seen at least five former players picked.
Read on
for a complete breakdown of the state's draft factories over the past
20 years, headlined by Glenville's total of 13 picks. Glenville's run started
with the first round pick of Donte Whitner to the Bills in 2006 and most recently Marshon Lattimore to the Saints with the 11th pick of the 2017 draft.
