So who did Woody punch, and where is he now?

Another one I have no idea of - Who was the last NFL player who came up under Woody? I'm thinking it was Tomzak (sp?), any ideas?

Charlie Baumann. Just about every Ohio State fan knows that.
Funny that Bobby Knight graduated from Ohio State and was a teammate of Jerry Lucas and John Havilcek.
He was considered for the OSU Basketball job in the 1970s and most recently last year.
Imagine Woody Hayes coaching football and Bobby Knight coaching basketball at your college. It almost happened at Ohio State in the 1970's.

****Who was the last NFL player who came up under Woody? ****

Since Woody's last coaching year was 1978. I think Art Schlitzer (sp?) was a freshman that year and he played a little pro ball. Tom Cousineau had an OK career. After Woody was fired the next year the team went 11-0 and went to the Rose Bowl. I think a few players from that team played in the NFL.

Mike Tomzak was several years after Woody. Woody's last season was the Fall of 1978.

1) Tom Cousineau was the first player drafted from that class (Buffalo) though I think he went to the Candian Football league

2) Ron Springs - several years with the Cowboys

3) Jim Laughlin (falcons and I think the redskins)

4) Doug Donely - a few good years with the Cowboys

5) Todd Bell - All Pro with Da Bears

6) Keith Ferguson - Chargers

7) Vince Skillings - Cowboys

8) Robert Murphy - Falcons

9) Ray Ellis - Eagles

10) The infamous Art Schlichter - Colts

Several others were drafted but I'm not sure if they played much or at all in the NFL.
