Jake Stoneburner News

One of the biggest reasons Ohio State went undefeated in 2012 was because of its offense, which finished No.

For quite a few years, there was one of those rubber refrigerator magnets hanging in our kitchen that showed a stack of pancakes on a plate with the word ''PACE'' sitting on top of the pile.

The Green Bay Packers ' rookies finally take the field today for practice, so here's all the information you need to prepare yourself for the events of the weekend.

Looking "unbalanced on his feet," according to the police report on his DUI arrest this week, Armonty Bryant, the Browns' seventh-round draftee -- and apparently, good-time guy -- seems to be an apt symbol of a reeling franchise.

By now, you are well aware that the Green Bay Packers did not select a tight end in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Ohio State has recruited some of the best young talent in the country in the era of modern college football, and it shows in the trophy case.

31: Buffalo Sept. 7: San Diego St Sept. 14: at California Sept. 21: Florida A&M Sept.

Oct 15, 2011; Champaign, IL, USA; Ohio State Buckeyes tight end Jake Stoneburner scores a touchdown during the fourth quarter against the Illinois Fighting Illini at Memorial Stadium.

The Packers' 11-player draft class is fortified with one Combine performer and some of the players who had pre-draft visits in Green Bay.

If Johnathan Hankins was deeply disappointed in not being a first-round selection on Thursday in the NFL draft, he didn't show it, especially after he took a call from the New York Giants in middle of the second round last night.

He is not the largest tight end prospect at 6'4" and 250 pounds, but his collegiate career speaks volumes about how he could used at the NFL level - whether that's from the traditional tight end position or split out as a wide receiver.

Hankins, a defensive lineman from Ohio State who had been projected by several analysts to be a top-15 pick in December when he announced he would forego his senior season, was not one of the 32 players picked in the first round last night.

If that had happened after spring practice last year, it would have been plausible to conclude that the Buckeyes didn't have enough proven players to fill out a two-deep. Despite losing most of their defensive starters from last season, that's not the case this year.
