Dawand Jones followed Paris Johnson as the second Ohio State offensive tackle picked in the the NFL draft, going in the fourth round on Saturday.

He had already weighed more at the combine than he did as a senior. He said he was about 364 pounds last Augustbefore his last season, dropping about 10 pounds over the offseason. Over the long run, he said he had hoped to be closer to 350 or 340 pounds. For an offensive lineman who was viewed as a project when he enrolled at Ohio State in 2019, his selection is ultimately a triumph, though.
