Brandon Graham's NFL future

Submitted by PugetSoundBlue on
It is pretty evident to any Michigan fan that Brandon Graham is an absolute monster. It is also pretty evident to opposing coaches. He is consistently double teamed, blatantly held, and plays run away from him. He hasn't put up the statistics that we would like to see for these very reasons, but his presence creates plays for other men on the D. I don't care about the statistics myself I think he has been nothing short of All American all year long. Do you guys and gals think NFL scouts will notice this too, or will his draft stock fall?

College production can really be misleading, so the scouts look for things like pressures, overall presence and impact on the game, and how the other teams handle your guy. Some of the best DTs in the game are guys you've never heard of, who have remarkably pedestrian stats but who make the entire defense click. Graham will go high this year, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him be the top defensive player taken.
