SKULL SESSION: BUCKEYES SET TO MAKE NFL DRAFT HISTORY, CHASE YOUNG WANTS TO SACK LAMAR JACKSON AND OHIO STATE IS LAPPING EVERYONE ELSE ON THE RECRUITING TRAIL

MAKING HISTORY. If a Buckeye defender is selected among the top-five picks in next Thursday's NFL Draft, Ohio State will make some NFL Draft history.

Said differently, if the NFL Draft takes place, Ohio State will make some NFL Draft history.



Shaun Wade, you're on deck. No pressure.

AIMING HIGH. I am willing to publish the bold prediction that Chase Young will record multiple sacks during his NFL career – that's right, multiple – and he's already got his sights set at the top.



He's probably going to get his shot, because the Redskins do indeed play the Ravens this season, and I personally wouldn't bet against him. Lamar Jackson's fast and slippery, but if there's anyone who's going to hunt him down, it's The Predator incarnate.

Personally, I'm fascinated to see how his rookie numbers compare to our favorite bear brothers. They both had some of the best rookie seasons ever at any position. That seems like an absurd standard for Chase Young, but I also know what his final college season looked like in comparison to theirs, and it was somehow better than theirs.

Needless to say, if I were a man willing to bet hard-earned dollars on something as frivolous as a NFL Rookie of the Year future (gambling prospects are dire right now, I wouldn't judge) I would confidently, confidently roll with Chase Young.

SKULL SESSION: NICK BOSA BREAKS DOWN CHASE YOUNG, COMING TO OHIO STATE BOOSTED JONAH JACKSON'S DRAFT STOCK, AND AN ABSURD CHASE YOUNG STAT

SMALLER BEAR TALKS PREDATOR. It's a hilarious indication about the state of Ohio State football when last year's No. 2 overall pick can confidently provide analysis of this year's No. 2 overall pick, because they're former Buckeye teammates who played on the same defensive line for two years.

And it's some excellent analysis, because I'm not convinced there's anyone else on the planet who's more qualified to give it than Nick Bosa.

If Washington called and asked you for your scouting report on Young, what would you tell them?

I’d tell them he’s got Jadeveon Clowney’s athletic ability, with Coach Johnson’s tutelage. And that’s a pretty scary combination. ...

What would you say is the best part of Chase’s game?

Just his ability to get off the ball. He’s got the twitchy get-off you can’t teach. Like, I have to jump off the ball perfectly to get a good get-off. He’s just got that crazy, freakish athleticism and then he’s super strong, too. He definitely needs to learn how to use his power a little more, which he will definitely find out in the NFL, and I’ve been telling him (that). But I just think his get-off, and then he’s also got great technique. There are so many things that I could say are his best attributes. He’s got really long arms. I feel like maybe his closing on the quarterback is probably his best attribute. He doesn’t miss very often.

What’s something a college defensive end needs to concentrate on when he moves to the NFL?

There are better players, obviously. There are some games where you see the tackles he’s going against (in college) and it’s a complete joke — to see him running around these kids like they’re standing still. And you don’t run into anyone like that in the NFL. Once you get to the NFL, you’re facing a beast every week for the most part. And for Chase, he’s already got such great finesse moves. Obviously, he’ll continue to improve them, but I don’t think speed rushing will be an issue for him. I think he’ll be able to get 10-plus sacks a year just off of speed rushes. But I think where I found out — I don’t have the speed that he has — but I found out that power needs to be in your repertoire because these tackles are really athletic. And if you’re just sticking to one thing and if you don’t set up your moves, you might have a rough day. So I think for him — he’s already so developed in his finesse game, I feel like he needs to work on implementing some different types of power moves.

I don't know what makes me more furious, missing out on a full season of a Chase Young and Nick Bosa pass-rushing duo, or missing out on Joey Bosa and Noah Spence.

Hopefully, we get three years of Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau to make up for it. It's only fair!

FOLKS, CHASE YOUNG IS GOOD. We're kind of running out of time to talk about how profanely good Chase Young's junior season was, because he's about to become a multi-millionaire and play at the next level.

"Young was the only FBS player in 2019 whose average tackle produced negative yardage."

That's damn near the most absurd stat I've ever heard about a player that averaged more than 50 snaps per game. If you don't know how that compares to other players, his sack rate graphed against everybody else in the draft.

His name is labeled, but it doesn't need to be.



It was probably unfair for everyone involved that he had to play collegiate football last season, but I'll tell you what, I'm sure glad it was for my team.

1. CHASE YOUNG, 2019
Standing above the rest, Chase Young's junior year is still fresh in our minds. Young's record-breaking campaign saw him break Ohio State's single-season sack record with 16.5, pushing him to the top-mark in sacks per game. Additionally, he forced seven fumbles on the season, by far the best mark in program history, for a program-best chaos factor of 0.583.



Young's final season at Ohio State resulted in an invitation to the Heisman ceremony in New York, where he finished fourth. He was a unanimous All-American and won a slew of individual awards, including the Chuck Bednarik Award and the Bronko Nagurski Trophy. He will likely a top-three selection in this week's NFL Draft.
