Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer suffers savage rejection at NFL draft

AFTER landing five of his players inside the NFL’s top 20 draft picks, this college coach never expected such a harsh rejection from one of his stars.

Ouch.

AS A college coach at the NFL draft, if you manage to get more than one of your players picked within the top 20, you are having a pretty good night.

Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer managed to get no less than five of his players selected for NFL franchises inside the draft’s top 20 — a feat that can no doubt be attributed to the strength of the Ohio State program. The side won the 2016 Fiesta Bowl, one of the New Year’s bowls of the College Football Playoff.

Unfortunately, Meyer’s celebrations were put on the back-burner when he was subjected to undoubtedly the most awkward moment of the draft caught on camera.

As former Buckeyes linebacker Darron Lee was selected for the New York Jets, his old coach got up to deliver his graduate a well-deserved high-five. The result was heartbreaking.

When you can't see your old college coach because there are too many dollar signs blocking your vision..#NFLDrafthttps://t.co/X6ixI7BjOQ

Savage.

Darron Lee wasn’t the only Ohio State draft pick to cause a stir on social media. Number four pick Ezekiel Elliott made the move to the Dallas Cowboys, while rocking a bizarre half-shirt suit combination that you just have to see to believe.

Probably started out as a joke, but Ezekiel Elliott is really wearing a crop top dress shirt to the draft pic.twitter.com/P9PJAJFJOg

Ezekiel Elliott has a crop top under his suit. "I’m the hero in the half shirt so it was only right I came to the draft wearing a crop top"

Those Buckeyes live by their own rules.

Among Ohio’s other former players, Joey Bosa was the third pick for San Diego Chargers, Eli Apple was drafted at Number 10 to New York Giants, and Taylor Decker took the Number 16 spot, moving to Detroit Lions.
