Notes from DL weigh-in … Perhaps the biggest takeaway from today’s measuring and weigh-in session for the defensive linemen was the fact that while he’s a rangy 6-6.5, Michigan DE Aidan Hutchinson has really short arms.

Top OL keep pace in combine drills … If there is any group that one can really say “who the heck cares” about the on-field portion of the combine program its that for the offensive linemen who definitely do not play the game in shorts.
