The 2020-2021 Ohio State receiver room was ridiculous. Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Jameson Williams, Emeka Egbuka, Jaxon Smith Njigba and Marvin Harrison Jr.
It’s been such a joy as a Bucs fan to see the quality of players that Jason Licht gets on this team. Confident without being arrogant, outspoken without being divas and does their talking on the field.
The Ohio state receivers in the league are so well spoken!
EE is EXACTLY who you want on your team if you’re a player, GM, coach, owner, cleaning staff, or fan… complete player on and off the field, maturity is off the charts
As a member of Buckeye Nation all I can say is the Buccaneers landed the best player possible. Emeka is not only talented he is a wonderful human being that always gives back.
This guy is what the world needs more of. He’s so unselfish, such a good human and man, hard worker and talented as hell. Loved watching his success at Ohio State, he was always clutch and love seeing him smash in the NFL. Probably my favorite player cause ever play he’d make, he had the best name to scream!
How can you not love this dude?
Kid is elite Bucs landed a star WR.
That 21 class has to go down as the greatest receiver class in all of college football history.
So glad we drafted him. Just a 100% class act and professional beyond his years. I knew he would acclimate to the NFL day one. Have him on 3 of my fantasy teams. he is a huge breath of fresh air. My daughter wants his jersey. Love the GUY! Go Bucs
