If some of Ohio State's best NFL skill position players were placed on the same team, would anyone be able to stop them?
is well known around the NFL for putting some of the best wide receivers into the league. The 33rd Team has begun posting on X some hypothetical college specific NFL offenses in recent times. At the very beginning of July, they posted anNo offense is completely unstoppable, but this group of former Ohio State players feels about as close as you can get.
Here is how the group has faired in recent times in the NFL.Jan 20, 2024; Baltimore, MD, USA; Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud runs the ball against the Baltimore Ravens during the second quarter of a 2024 AFC divisional round game at M&T Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports / Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports Stroud is coming off a stellar rookie season where he happened to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. The' quarterback has quickly established himself as one of the elite young quarterbacks in the league and is on the trajectory to being Houston's franchise quarterback for many years to come. Last season, the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft threw for 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns and posted a 63.9 percent completion percentage. He also only threw five interceptions.Dec 24, 2023; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is tackled by Washington Commanders linebacker Cody Barton during the second half at MetLife Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports / Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sportswide receiver is highly regarded in the NFL and has been the Jets best receiver for several seasons. Unfortunately for Wilson, the immediate injury to Aaron Rodgers last season did not leave him with an ideal quarterback situation in New York. Despite lacking a true NFL-caliber starting quarterback, Wilson was still able to catch 95 passes for 1,042 yards and three touchdowns. Wilson has the chance to increase his production this coming season with hopefully a better quarterback situation.Dec 21, 2023; Inglewood, California, USA; New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave carries the ball against the Los Angeles Rams in the second half at SoFi Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports / Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sportsand offers the NFC South team a significant deep-threat. Last season, he had 87 receptions for 1,123 yards and five touchdowns. Wilson and Olave were a dangerous one-two punch in college and teaming up once again would offer the same trouble for opposing secondaries.Nov 5, 2023; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin runs the ball during the second half against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports / Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sportsstar receiver has unfortunately been on a team with the lack of strong quarterback play for a while. Things may be trending in the right direction though after the Commanders selected Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels with the second-overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Last year, "Scary Terry" was still able to haul in 79 passes for 1,002 yards and four touchdowns. Not only would he offer this hypothetical team leadership and quality receiving ability, but McLaurin has always been willing to do whatever is needed to help his team.Dec 31, 2023; Seattle, Washington, USA; Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba catches a pass for a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers during the first half at Lumen Field. Mandatory Credit: Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports / Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports. A lot of this probably had to do with the injury-stricken season at Ohio State the year prior and finally getting back to the field. Fortunately for Smith-Njigba, the second half of the season improved and he was able to showcase his extraordinary talent. The natural slot receiver had 63 receptions for 628 yards and four touchdowns last season. He will only look to improve those numbers this coming season. What Smith-Njigba would provide this group is plenty of ability out of the slot and he would likely benefit from the attention on Wilson and Olave just has he did when all three played together a few years ago.Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. makes a one-handed catch during minicamp at Dignity Health Training Center on June 11, 2024. / Rob Schumacher/The Republic / USA TODAY Harrison Jr. was stuffed in the bottom corner of this graphic as the fifth wide receiver coming off the bench, likely because he is a rookie and has not played a game in the NFL yet. That being said, he has the potential to be the best of all five. He was the first receiver selected in this year's draft for good reason. The In his final season with the Buckeyes, MHJ caught 67 passes for 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns. Although he was able to match his impressive touchdown mark from the previous season, the rest of his stats were slightly down due to Kyle McCord at quarterback instead of C.J. Stroud. With Stroud, he had 77 receptions for 1,263 yards. Due to his size, speed and excellent body control, the rookie wide receiver would potentially be able to become the alpha in this wide receiver room.Jun 4, 2024; Frisco, TX, USA; Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott goes through a drill during practice at the Ford Center at the Star Training Facility in Frisco, Texas. Mandatory Credit: Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports / Tim Heitman-USA TODAY SportsLast year, Elliott managed to pick up 642 yards and three touchdowns on the ground on 184 carries. This was certainly a different year for Elliott compared to 2022 with Dallas, where he ran for 876 yards and 12 touchdowns on 231 carries. There is a good chance that if a list like this is created next season, either TreVeyon Henderson or Quinshon Judkins will be the running back listed on this team. The Buckeyes certainly have a lot of talented skill position players in the league and that list will only grow following the 2025 NFL Draft.
