Ohio State has become a pipeline for NFL wide receivers and Emeka Egbuka is in the batter's box. "If the Jets decide to take me or something like that, that would be a dream come true for me," Egbuka said. "Garrett [Wilson] is one of my closest friends. We talk consistently, so I'm never going to be mad at the fact that we're sharing the same field." During Egbuka's time in Columbus, he shared a room with five first-round picks – Wilson, Chris Olave, Jameson Williams, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Marvin Harrison. "I think some of you can just picture what that room was like and that was really the reason I decided to go to Ohio State," he said. "I didn't want to go to a place where I wasn't going to be challenged by my peers. I wanted to go to a place where in order to see the field, I had to grow and at an exponential rate because they were all growing as well. Being able to play with them and just being in that competitive atmosphere is why I'm standing before you all today." Patience Is a Virtue
Texas WR Matthew Golden's draft stock has been on a rapid rise since December. Golden, whose 4.29 40-yard dash at the Combine was the second-fastest time of any player, tallied 411 yards in the final four games of the Longhorns' 2024 season that ended with a loss in the national championship game. He had 576 yards in the first 12 games. "It was just the ball finding me at the right time," Golden said at the Combine. "Stay consistent and stay down until my opportunity was granted to me, so I tried to do my best to contribute to the team when the ball wasn't finding me." Golden (5-10, 191), a Houston native, started his collegiate career at the University of Houston where he played two seasons and shared the field with Texans WR Tank Dell.
