Which Players Should Ohio State Bring to Big Ten Media Days?

Big Ten media days is set to kick off at the end of the month, and last week Ohio State announced that team captains J.T. Barrett, Pat Elflein and Raekwon McMillan will make the trek to Chicago with Urban Meyer to represent the Buckeyes.

That's probably the right call, because the trio of upperclassmen is the clear-cut group of leaders of a very young team. But if Meyer wanted to bring the players with the most interesting things to say, he would've tabbed these three players to go along with him.

Stephen Collier, Quarterback

Barrett is great. He's the obvious leader of the offense, largely responsible for Ohio State's standing as a playoff contender and on the brink of rewriting Ohio State's history book. 

He's not the most interesting quarterback on the team, though.

That distinction belongs to Stephen Collier, who was battling Joe Burrow for the backup spot before tearing his ACL in the spring game. He'll miss the entire 2016 season as he rehabs his way back into full swing, but he would've given the interview room in Chicago a flash of something it really needs.

He doesn't need to be in the trenches to provide a quality opinion, as he demonstrated during the NBA Finals last month.

This man needs a spotlight. 

Johnnie Dixon, Wide Receiver

You need at least one guy to represent the skill position players, right?

Corey Smith and Dontre Wilson are two vets among a green group of wideouts, but like Collier, Johnnie Dixon has a voice that needs to be heard.

The junior hasn't had an enormous impact on the field with a career stat line of one catch for 29 yards (in the season opener against Virginia Tech in 2015). But he's highly entertaining on Twitter, and he is taking it upon himself to help transition Ohio State's new recruiting class to campus life.

Who wouldn't want to talk to Joey Bosa's younger brother's best friend?

Drue Chrisman, Punter

Yes. The backup punter.

Ohio State's special teams unit is spearheaded by punter Cameron Johnston, who was recently named to the Ray Guy watch list, and Sean Nuernberger, who might be the funniest follow on Twitter among active Buckeye football players.

But Chrisman, a true freshman and the No. 1-ranked punter in the class of 2016, according to 247Sports, is already showcasing his skills despite arriving on campus just five weeks ago.

True freshmen never get the green light to represent their team at conference media days, but what else does Chrisman have to do to prove he's the team's most impressive talent?
