INDIANAPOLIS -- Ohio State has yet to have a defensive player taken in the first round of the NFL Draft during the Ryan Day era. OK, technically speaking, that’s not true.

Texans GM Nick Caserio talked about if he is seeing more players be NFL-ready with the current format of college football. He said,"It's a great question. It's case by case. I would see you've kind of seen the players that have played a lot of football.

Five former Rutgers football players will participate in the 2025 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The players are linebacker Tyreem Powell, running back Kyle Monangai, offensive lineman Hollin Pierce, cornerback Robert Longerbeam and long snapper Austin Riggs.
