The NFL has become a more realistic dream for Mitch Rossi as his role has increased, and he’s back at Ohio State for a sixth year because he believes that will help his chances.
If Mitch Rossi had entered the NFL draft after last season, he wouldn’t have been able to put his skills on full display during the pre-draft process.
“At the beginning of last year, I just kind of wanted to have the best senior season possible. And then kind of towards the middle of the season, I kind of realized that the NFL was more of a realistic possibility. And then at the same time, my shoulder went out,” Rossi said. “So it kind of came along with I needed to rehab it and get it done anyways, because it was bothering me. And I was going to be here working with , because he's the best physical therapist in the country.
He’ll likely need to have a productive sixth year at Ohio State to have a real chance of being drafted, considering he has just five career catches for 36 yards and one touchdown. That said, he could potentially fill a niche for an NFL team as a fullback – where he’s lined up for many of his 256 offensive snaps as a Buckeye – and as a core player on special teams, where he’s a regular on the punt, kickoff return and field goal teams for the Buckeyes.
For now, Rossi is focused on trying to make as big of an impact as he can for Ohio State this fall. And he has a chance to play his most substantial role yet. With Jeremy Ruckert now in the NFL, Rossi is expected to be one of the leaders of the tight end unit this season along with Cade Stover.
