You could say there’s just a little bit of interest in Ohio State’s pro day.

With the Buckeyes going after a record six first-rounders set by Miami (FL) in 2004, there are plenty of media , scouts, NFL coaches and general managers in Columbus for the showcase.

In fact, Ohio State media relations director Jerry Emig dished out an estimated 130 credentials for the event:

It isn’t just reporters and scouts with stopwatches that came to Columbus to see the Buckeye prospects. NFL Network and SportsCenter are both doing live broadcasts of the day’s festivities:

As you can see, the crowd for the credential-only event isn’t lacking:

There are a reported six NFL head coaches on hand, including Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin:

There were plenty of eyes on Braxton Miller during the 40-yard dash. After recording a 4.5 at the combine, he had hopes of getting in the low 4.4s.

According to NFLDraftScout.com’s Matt Miller, the Buckeye wideout did even better than that.

See for yourself:

The Buckeyes media relations staff will likely post official results from the day later this afternoon. If Miller’s 40-time holds up, expect that first-round chatter to fire back up.
