Michigan had nine former players appear on the NFL draft combine in Indianapolis over the last few days, drawing various forms of attention from observers.

Mason Graham opted out of the activities aside from the bench press. CBS Sports listed him as one of the combine's biggest "losers" among the defensive tackles: "After being listed at 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds, Graham didn't hit 300 on the scales in Indianapolis, and his 32-inch arms place right around the 12th percentile at defensive tackle since 1999," CBS wrote.

"The positive here is that Graham is almost identically sized -- with longer arms -- to that of Rams 2024 second-round pick (and All-Rookie Team selection) Braden Fiske."

Graham's co-star on the defensive line, Kenneth Grant, did not work out in Indianapolis after medical evaluations revealed a hamstring strain.

Like other Wolverines who sat out some or all drills at the combine, Grant is expected to participate in Michigan's "pro day" in Ann Arbor on March 21.

Cornerback Will Johnson, at one point viewed as the top prospect in the draft class, was another "loser" according to CBS Sports. He missed Michigan's final six games with a toe injury and did not work out in the combine. "Michigan's star outside cornerback, who we haven't seen on the field since October, measured in with surprisingly short arms in Indianapolis, at just 30 1/8 inches," CBS' writers wrote. "Being over 6-foot-1 and 194 pounds ticked the height and weight boxes, though."

Tight end Colston Loveland also did not participate as he recovers from shoulder surgery. ESPN's Adam Schefter posted a letter from Loveland's surgeon expressing his opinion that Loveland would be fully cleared for activities by training camp.

At the combine, Loveland talked about how he nearly became more involved with rodeo before deciding to stick with football and basketball.

Running back Donovan Edwards, whose production was inconsistent at Michigan, had a strong showing at the combine. His 23 reps on the bench press (225 pounds) were the most of any running back this year. The NFL posted a video of Edwards "making quick work of the Duce Staley drill."

Fellowing running back Kalel Mullings did not participate in drills. Neither did edge Josaiah Stewart, who measured as the shortest player at his position at 6-foot-1.

Myles Hinton, an offensive lineman, earned a shoutout from one reporter: "Myles Hinton is almost a carbon copy of his father Chris Hinton," Courtlandt Griffin wrote. "He got to showcase his skills in the stadium his father's name is enshrined in and will look to start a legacy all his own after the combine."

William Wagner, a long snapper, provided the snaps for the field-goal kickers at the combine.
