MOBILE, Ala. — Tuf Borland has seen a lot of college football.
The Ohio State linebacker just finished his fifth season with the Buckeyes, playing in 51 collegiate games despite suffering a significant Achilles injury in 2018.
He came to Ohio State to play for Urban Meyer, who retired after the 2018 season. Now, Meyer is getting back into coaching, and he and Borland will be NFL rookies together in 2021, with Meyer at the helm of Jacksonville Jaguars.
Borland thinks that Meyer, who owns a 187-32 record at the collegiate level, should handle the transition easily.
