Last week at Ohio State’s media day, an out-of-town reporter asked Ginn what positions he has played at OSU.
"I play wide receiver, that’s basically it," Ginn said. "Throw a touchdown (pass), kick return, punt return."
The clipped way in which he answered hinted at longing. It prompted a follow-up question: Will he leave Ohio State regretting that he never played defensive back? Ginn was a star cornerback in high school  the USA Today Defensive Player of the Year in 2003 at Cleveland Glenville.
Uncharacteristically, Ginn dropped his guard and abandoned his habit of giving vague, just-gotta-play-hard answers.
"Well, you know, that’s still my first love," he said. "I’ll die and say that I was a DB. But you know, there’s still time  there’s still time in my life to still be able to fulfill my dream."
That certainly sounded as if Ginn wants to play defense in the NFL. After the Buckeyes play in the national championship game Jan. 8 against Florida, he is expected to declare himself for the draft.

Interesting
 
Interesting and I doubt he will, But he would be very teachable with not many bad habits and speed like his.
 
I doubt he will play DB in the pros as well, but he may see action in prevent defenses against the hail mary, the way the Lions used Herman Moore.
 
I think he'd need to beef up a little bit to play any defense in the NFL, but with his speed, it's a possibility.
 
He probably has the athleticism to do it, but I'd rather see him at WR, and I'd rather see him there on THIS team.
 
CB's are Wr's who can't catch. With that said, Ginn can and I highly doubt he would play corner in the NFL unless it were in a Troy Brown type role.
 
With his natural ability some team might put him at corner in certain packages but there's a reason OSU put him at reciever after he played DB at high school.

Or Wr's that like to hit.
 
ginn comen out was looked at by some schools for CB and returns specialist...some wanted him at WR like the Buckeyes did...Its to late to turn back now..At either position he still needs to add 10 lbs.

I'm pretty sure he came to OSU as a CB and didn't play any WR until mid-season of his freshman year when they saw what he could do as a kick and punt returner.
