  • Former Ohio State Running Back Pepe Pearson Opens up About Playing, Coaching Career
    Former Ohio State Running Back Pepe Pearson Opens Up About Playing, Coaching Career Since the NFL draft’s inception in 1936, the Ohio State football program has been a mainstay. The Buckeyes have had a whopping 477 players selected – including a nation-leading 84 first-round picks – across 85 drafts. A quick glimpse at the long list of players would reveal the 1997 Buckeyes as an anomaly, however. After falling to Florida State in the Sugar Bowl, all of Ohio State’s draft-eligible juniors opted to put their NFL dreams on hold for another shot at a national title. Running back Pepe Pearson didn’t have a choice, however, as he was one of the few starters who had exhausted his eligibility that season. Despite receiving a late-round grade from NFL personnel, Pearson went unselected in the 1998 draft. He signed a free-agent deal with the San Francisco 49ers and bounced around the league for three seasons, also spending time on the offseason roster or practice squads of the Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Pearson, who weighed in at 5-10 and 209 pounds during his playing career, also had briefs stints with the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe, the Las Vegas Outlaws of the original XFL and the Dayton Warbirds of the National Indoor Football League. If you ask for the highlight of his career, Pearson will quickly point to the Fire’s 13-10 win over the Scottish Claymores in World Bowl 2000, the eighth installment of NFL Europe’s championship game.
