Yes, Marvin Harrison and Emeka Egbuka are the only OSU WR’s to have multiple 1,000 yard seasons.WT, was t his career at OSU very similar (statistically) to Marvin Harrison Jr? I thought so.
MHJ put up 8 TDs this year in the NFL. Probably on 800 yds.
I know they are different, but MHJ was also a top 5 pick. We are getting similar college production but at #19?
Egbuka finished with 205 receptions on his career, the most receptions in Ohio State history - and second in receiving yards (only 30 yards behind Michael Jenkins).
Also, 15 of his 24 career touchdowns were in the red zone. Dude is an absolute weapon in short field situations.
He also returns punts and kicks.
But they are two very different players. Marv’s a developing #1, while Emeka is a definite slot guy.
Favorite "dumb football player" quote:
J. Campbell, after getting drafted by Eagles::
"The richer just got rich."
🤣😜😁
I’m clearly biased, but this kid is ready to start, right now.WOW! Did NOT see this coming!?
I freaking LOVE Egbuka - he’s so smooth - bigger Godwin clone. Team first guy..
but with Green, Ez & Pearce still on the board…somebody is going to have a merry Draftmis.
Yeah, I like Egbuka. But this was a reach. Chris Godwin was a third rounder. I would have loved Egbuka in R3, but this is too early for him.
Ready to start? Where? In place of who? I'm no JC1000, but IMO, Egbuka better have HOF potential to pass on EZ.

If Egbuka can have some of JSN's impact for the Bucs that is a 100% win for this team.

He’ll beat out JMAC for the WR3 spot.

So the Bucs spend a 1st round pick for a part time player. Ok, I guess. As bare as the Bucs' defensive cupboards are, this feels like spending a chunk a money on stocks when your fridge and pantry barely have any food. Possibly good for the future, but what about today?
I'm repeating myself but I think it's a good pick. Picks 15-40 are all the same. There are no reaches
Huh? The reaches are only 1-14 and after 41? That’s a new one.
I'm being hyperbolic but the gap between 15 and 40 isn't very big. Thats my point
This is 100 percent accurate. This is one of the worst drafts from a top tier talent perspective, ever. Jaxson Dart went in the first flipping round. Was Mitch Trubiski (sp) not available???

Bucs were running 11-personnel at a clip of over 70% last season. And, that was with the injuries to Evans and Godwin.
WR3 will see a lot of snaps.
