Ohio State Dominates Michigan in Producing NFL Personnel

If Ohio State's active eight-game win streak over its arch-rival Michigan wasn't a strong enough indicator of just which program has dominated the recency of one of college football's greatest rivalries, taking a glance at what former Buckeyes are doing at the next level should.

While the Buckeyes may not be the overall top dog in producing current NFL talent, their stranglehold on this title from a Big Ten perspective, and more importantly a rivalry perspective, is glaring.

Following the final wave of cuts for the NFL's active 53-man rosters across the league ahead of the 2020 season kickoff this Thursday night, the Buckeyes account for a whopping 50 talents at the next level.

In fact, Michigan isn't even second on the Big Ten depth chart in this category, as Penn State boasts one more (34) than the Wolverines this year.

The wins don't lie, and neither does the NFL personnel numbers when it comes to dominance in this rivalry. Ohio State has clearly gotten the better of Michigan in more measurables than just packing the win column.
