Ohio State's Curtis Samuel: Declares for NFL Draft

Samuel will forgo his senior season and enter the 2017 NFL Draft, Dave Biddle of 247Sports reports.

Analysis:

Samuel served as both a terrific rusher and receiver for the Buckeyes in 2016, notching 771 yards on the ground, 865 receiving yards and 15 total touchdowns, as he proved to be one of the most versatile talents in college football. He will now take those talents to the next level, leaving Mike Weber as the single biggest threat out of the backfield for Ohio State, while a solid core of young receivers will look to take on bigger workloads next year in Samuel's absence.
