The Buckeye Takeover: How Many Former Ohio State Stars are on the Detroit Lions?
The Detroit Lions. A team known for... well, their passionate fanbase and, uh... Honolulu blue? But lately, there's a new kind of roar coming out of Motown, and it has an Ohio accent. Buckeyes, those gridiron gladiators from Ohio State University, are stampeding their way onto the Lions' roster!

Counting Buckeyes: A Not-So-Scientific Investigation
So, how many former Ohio State players are currently wearing the Honolulu blue and silver? Let's grab some binoculars and peer at the roster, shall we?
Here's what we spotted:
- The Trench Takeover: We saw at least two Buckeyes on the offensive line: Jonah Jackson (guard) and Taylor Decker (tackle). These guys are like the brick walls guarding Fort Knox... but with better fashion sense (probably).
- Defense Wins Championships (and Maybe Games for the Lions?): Our Buckeye Brigade extends to the defensive side of the ball as well. Look out for linebacker Jake McQuaide who's ready to lay down the law (and maybe some sweet tackles).
The Verdict: With at least three Buckeyes currently on the roster, it's safe to say Ohio State has a decent little foothold in Detroit. Are they planning a full-on Buckeye invasion? Only time will tell!
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Bonus Buckeye Watch: Keep an eye out for practice squad players and offseason additions. The Buckeye pipeline to Detroit might be flowing faster than the Cuyahoga River after a heavy rain (obscure Ohio reference for those in the know).
