I would agree with that, and that seems to be something the Ohio State kids excel at. It is surely something that can be taught. Thelien and Diggs seemed to be 2 of the best. That was another area Tyler Johnson was supposed to be strong at.

I am really liking the KJ Osborn pick. He seems like a great person and player. He should be the PR from day one.

That PR job is going to have competition. Bisi seems likely to be a lock for the roster and is fine doing PRs. What role will he have on offense? Then you got Chad Beebe...not long ago he was slated to be the 3rd WR on this team. Osborn was drafted so that obviously means they like him etc but 12 WRs plus a boatload of DBs that could also get some chances there. We may need to use some roster spots on punters to try all these guys out! Lol jk Also with a shorter preseason who knows if they even try and get some guys reps. Maybe they try and stash guys by not playing them like they supposedly did with at least one WR last year. Osborn looks like a more stocky sting guy but with some speed compared to other guys and he is 5'11" so he isn't small. I could see him doing some of the things Jarius Wright (and Patterson) did before in terms of getting the ball in his hands and get a nice chunk of yards. I agree he might be the best PR option but he also still has to make the roster.

Chad Beebe is a guy I think had his shot, but he couldn't stay healthy. I think the team needs to decide what they want to do. Develop players this year on the fly or try and stash them. I would throw them into the fire this year with all that is going on. People will be less critical and just be happy to have sports back for the most part. Osborn was one of the top PRs in college. He fit the skill and character model. Wonnum was the same type of player. Leader but not a huge production guy. Osborn beat out some quality talent at Miami to be their top target.

Kenny was a great pick. I am not sure he will make it in this league, but he seems like a good dude likely won't be due to lack of effort.
