His highest weight was 335 or so, he slimmed down when asked.
Some quick notes:
47 games during his career as a Wolverine, 104 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, and has batted down 3 passes at the line of scrimmage.
blocked two kicks on ST during his junior year and 1 as a senior.
Ran 40-yard dash in 4.8 seconds
State champion in power lifting as sophomore:
Best bench press 500 pounds
Best squat lift is 680 pounds
Best dead lift is 670 pounds
undefeated heavyweight wrestling state champion as a senior
Combine is a chance for him to increase his stock big time. Dare I say 40+ reps on the bench?
6 foot is good size for a NT, guys that are too tall can have a disadvantage. The more concerning thing is his off senior year . . . questions about his work ethic.
Yeah 6'0" 306 pounds. Not very big for an NFL Nose Tackle.
pass, i think we will be getting our nt in day 2 if that
40 probably isn't out of reach.

The whole Michigan team really suffered this past season, so it's hard to really get a good indication of just how much he struggled. I'm interested to see how Brandon Graham does in 2009 since he decided to return.
as a michigan fan i can say he was good at times and disappeared at times, so all in all 5th round or later sure ill take him any earlier ill pass
disagree. I think he can work into the 2nd-3rd round. He had a lackluster senior year due to a mixture of poor scheme and an inept offense. He was great as a junior and senior. Plus, he is a great leader and great teammate and is a hard worker.
