Emeka Egbuka draft profile, scouting report
Egbuka is yet another impressive slot receiver prospect from Columbus. His crisp route-running, after-catch potential and reliable hands are remisicent of fellow Buckeye Jaxon Smith-Njigba. — Ayrton Ostly
Egbuka was overshadowed during his Ohio State career, first by Marvin Harrison Jr. in 2023 and then by freshman sensation Jeremiah Smith last year. But he was indispensible to Ohio State's national championship run. He caught 81 passes for 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2024 and became the Buckeyes' career receptions leader with 205. He doesn't have any single attribute that is elite, but he has the whole package — hands, speed, football instincts and selflessness. He should be an excellent No. 2 receiver in a long NFL career. — Bill Rabinowitz
