One of the best things about watching Ohio State players in the NFL Draft is getting to see the start of a much longer career than anyone could've expected.
As a three-dimensional, roughly six-foot-five, 300 pound human being, at first. Back in the salad days, when Eleven Warriors dot com was sending unqualified dinguses like yours truly to Ohio State football practices to act like they knew what they were doing, I did at one point attempt to ask Heyward a question or two. The genius of my inquiries have been sadly lost to the ages,that I took as I was trying to juggle a notebook and a camera I had shoved in my cargo pants.
When he finally headed for the NFL, I wish I could say that I expected him to be an unmitigated success and a cornerstone franchise player, but despite all of what I had enjoyed about him at Ohio State, I was skeptical. Sort of. The real reason why I think I enjoy Heyward's story so much is because I foolishly doubted him; I thought that despite what my eyeballs had clearly seen both in person and on my television set, that Heyward was going to be just"a guy" in the NFL, that bigger names on would make more noise over time. And while some did go on to kick very large amounts of ass in the NFL, Heyward has always been right there with them.
