Former Ohio State wide receiver Parris Campbell was selected with the No. 59 overall pick in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts.
The speedy playmaker and two-time captain set an Ohio State record with 90 receptions in his fifth season with the Buckeyes, and became the fifth Buckeye to notch 1,000 or more receiving yards in a season, finishing the year with 1,063.
His 12 receiving touchdowns in 2018, including a career-high 78-yard touchdown against Michigan, were tied for the conference lead during a campaign that earned him first-team All-Big Ten honors.
Campbell led the Buckeyes in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns in a year where Ohio State had the No. 2 passing offense in the nation, with 364.3 yards per game through the air.
In 2017, Campbell earned third-team All Big Ten receiver and second-team return specialist honors, as he led the Buckeyes in receiving for the first time with 584 receiving yards.
Clocking in at a 4.31-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, Campbell ran the third-highest time among all participating players, and the highest amongst wide receivers.
