The Ohio State Buckeyes boast many former stars competing in the NFL. One of those standout players is none other than tight end Luke Farrell.
Throughout his time at Ohio State, Farrell played four years with the team. He accumulated 34 catches for 380 yards and four touchdowns.
Farrell was a dependable player for the Buckeyes, but those statistics clearly indicate that he wasn’t elite NFL material. He has established a strong professional career for himself.
During his initial four years in the NFL, Farrell has competed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Over those four years, Farrell has amassed 36 receptions for 318 yards. He hasn’t scored a touchdown yet.
Although he doesn’t boast impressive NFL statistics, Farrell has made a name for himself. This resulted in him securing a profitable deal during NFL free agency.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Farrell has secured a three-year contract exceeding $20 million with the San Francisco 49ers.
Securing such a deal with the 49ers demonstrates that diligence yields results. Farrell may not be the top-tier tight end, but he excels at blocking and handles all the tough tasks.
He is now set to travel to San Francisco to collaborate with George Kittle at tight end. Kittle will be the top-tier receiving tight end, whereas Farrell will handle the remainder.
This is a significant advancement for him, and Ohio State supporters couldn’t be more thrilled.
