Ken-Yon Rambo was a big-play Buckeye with NFL-caliber juice
In the 1999 season, Ken-Yon Rambo emerged as one of Ohio State’s most explosive receivers, finishing with 41 catches for 833 yards, while in 2000 he posted 51 catches for 729 yards and 2 touchdowns for the Buckeyes[8][14]. His calling card was downfield efficiency and playmaking flair — he averaged 20.3 yards per catch in 1999, and his career at Ohio State showed he could stretch defenses, win after the catch, and deliver in chunk-play moments[8][14][15]. That profile made him a fit for teams needing a vertical threat with proven production rather than just raw speed.
