Deep NFL roots have set high expectations for Caleb Downs. Where will the talented @ohiostateFB safety land on Draft night? 2026 NFL Draft – Starts Thursday at 8pm ET on NFLN/ESPN/ABC Stream on NFL+

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Bro im a PSU nittany lion fan 4 life but watching these OSU boys that made our life hell come into draft night theyre ALL special. I predict 5 in the 1st round and 4 in the top 10. Tate, downs, reese, and styles all going top 10 and McDonald going later in the 1st.

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Wow! Historic moment right here.

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Downs reads QB shoulders like a vet. Safeties with that kind of instinct don't come around every draft, so the top 10 buzz feels earned.

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Caleb Downs has already exceeded NFL roots-level expectations. 🎯 Now the only question left: Where does the Ohio State safety land on Draft night? Thursday. 8pm ET. 📺

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Caleb will be the best player out of this draft. Offense or defense👀

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus He will be Jayden Daniels teammate come Thursday night.

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Curious to see where he lands!

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Downs been him!!! @newyorkgiants !!!

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Caleb Downs is the kind of safety every defensive coordinator wants. Range, instincts, tackling that actually finishes. Top 15 pick or something is very wrong with that war room.

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Cool

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Hope @Saints find away to get him!

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Draft status is so overrated.

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Ohio State's track record with defensive backs is impressive. He'll be a first round pick, maybe even top 15. The combine will be huge for him.

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus Great ad.

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus

@OhioStateFB @NFLPlus A lot of pressure for him, given the family legacy. Should be intriguing to see where he ends up on draft night.
