We truly can have good things.

He's definitely tall enough for the NFL.  Didn't need any additional time in the oven.  Good luck Marv, enjoy playing for a really, really bad team next year.

File him under the CJ Stroud, JT Barrett, Chris Olave, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Zeke Elliot, JK Dobbins, Braxton Miller and co file of "OSU players I'm glad we never have to play against again"

I hope it's a yearly tradition that some buckeye lies and pretends he might return when we all know they're itching to leave for the league. You sell kids on being the pro program, they aren't gonna give a shit about turning your program around for you aside what is needed to get the bag.

Top 5 pick so smart to go.

I still have some questions because he sort of gave up on a ball twice in the OSU-UM game which a Dan Campbell type wouldn't be so happy about, so I am not throwing him into the Justin Jefferson category until I see a year or two of work in the NFL but he has all the tools to be a top 5 WR in the league.

No reason to call him MiataMarv. The guy is one of the best college WRs ever and was so good that he carried OSU to a top 2 ranking pretty much by himself.

He's just joking around, clearly. The Buckeye fans have assured me that they have NIL money set aside for him that would dwarf any money that he could possibly make in the NFL.

Good for him. I hope he gets drafted high, which is most likely the case, and ends up having a great career with the exception of being shut down by DBs who went to Michigan. That's would make me

To honor Marv finishing his career pantless, I declare this weekend "Pantless Weekend" for all dads, especially if the wives are out of town.  Boxers or Michigan Wolverines briefs only.

Obvs choice to go for him as he will likely be the top non-QB off the board.

Am a bit surprised that a lot of OSU players are staying. 

Given what we've learned about that teams culture under RD these choices remind me of the scene at the end of Jerry Maguire when Bob Sugar tries to hug his client the same way Jerry and Rod did, eliciting a "get away from me" shove.

Smart man. He had nothing left to prove at this level. Nothing to gain and everything to lose. doesn’t matter what he could’ve done next year. His draft stock was not going to go any higher.

Glad to know he will be leaving OSU without a single pair of gold pants to his name, but he seems like a good guy so I wish him well in the league.

I've read this title a few times and I'm still not sure if MiataMarv is supposed to be an insult or a compliment. I think most car people really like Miatas...I'm one of them.
