Meyer says National Football League team contacted him
Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa was keeping his future plans a secret until after the BattleFrog Fiesta Bowl, but his coach may have spoiled it one day early.

Bosa is projected to be one of the first players selected in next year’s draft.
During a joint press conference with Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly previewing the Fiesta Bowl Meyer said juniors Ezekiel Elliott, Joey Bosa and Cardale Jones have all confirmed they’ll enter the 2016 NFL Draft. “I think sometimes they say college coaches don’t make it very well (in the NFL)”. Entering Friday’s game, he racked up 22 sacks and 50.5 tackles for loss in three seasons with the Buckeyes.
Michael Thomas, Vonn Bell, Eli Apple and Jalin Marshall are among the other players who could decide to declare themselves eligible for the draft.
“I really enjoy where I’m coaching and who I’m coaching”, said Meyer, who has two daughters who have finished college and a son in high school. I know the agents.
“That’s the way it is”, Meyer said.
But, Meyer added, “I’d rather be in that situation” of having NFL-caliber talent on his team “than have a bunch of not-very-good players”. I know the pressures being put on them.

Rumors about Meyer leaving Ohio State for anther job are nothing new, but he spoke in some detail about how he feels about being in Columbus and coaching at the college level. Jones was the third quarterback the Buckeyes used following a preseason injury to Braxton Miller and an injury to J.T. Barrett in the regular-season finale, but despite his inexperience he led Ohio State to monumental postseason victories over Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game, Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and OR in the national championship game.
