Week 8: Buckeyes in the NFL

Weekly review of Buckeyes in the NFL.

Out of the 32 teams in the NFL, 24 of them have an active Buckeye on the roster. In week 6 of the NFL season, 4 of those 24 teams are on a bye.

Current New York Giant and former Ohio State CB Eli Apple was able to relax on Sunday because of the team bye. Apple actually made an appearance at the Ohio State vs Northwestern game.

Ryan Shazier and Cameron Heyward also had a week off as the Pittsburgh Steelers reached their much needed bye week. Carlos Hyde and the 49ers had an off week as well as the Miami Dolphins and former OSU long snapper Jake McQuaide.

How did other former Buckeyes do? Here I gathered stats from each Buckeye that played on Sunday and put them into one place:
