Six former Ohio State players playing in NFL Playoff conference championship games

A long NFL season is getting closer and closer to everything culminating with Super Bowl LVII. If we’re talking players and teams in the NFL, we are more than likely also looking at some former Ohio State players coming to you on a high-definition television or streaming device.

That’s definitely still the case at the tail end of a 2022 season that has seen plenty of players that used to wear scarlet and gray playing prominent roles in this year’s run to the big game in Glendale, Arizona. In fact, six former Buckeyes (seven if you count Joe Burrow) are ready to suit up and try to punch their tickets to sports’ greatest annual sporting event.

Here’s a look at all of those former Buckeyes and how to watch them on Sunday in the NFL conference championship games.
