The Big Ten is in the middle of its media days and Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer had his turn to take the podium and speak to the media. Naturally, there were going to be questions about who would replace this year's No. 4 pick in the NFL Draft, Ezekiel Elliott. Meyer believes he's found the guy in this redshirt freshman.
