  Jaxon Smith-Njigba broke Ohio State football's single-season records for catches and receiving yards last season and comes back for more in 2022. Even in a receiver room as talented as the Buckeyes', Smith-Njigba stands alone as the clear No. 1 target for C.J. Stroud at the start of the season. How rare is that in recent OSU history? You need to wind back two full decades to find the last time any OSU receiver had such a clear claim to the No. 1 spot.

Michael Jenkins turned 61 receptions in to 1,076 yards and six touchdowns in 2002. Chris Gamble finished a distant second in receptions (31) and yards (499) and did not catch a single touchdown pass. Obviously that Buckeye offense, leaning on running back Maurice Clarett and quarterback Craig Krenzel, operated on a different dynamic than the one C.J. Stroud will lead in 2022. At the same time, that heirarchy in the receiver room did not prevent Ohio State from winning a national championship. - Cleveland Plain Dealer
