David Ojabo- Edge Rusher | Grade: 6.50

David Ojabo is entering the draft after only playing 20 games in his entire college career. Because of this, he had a lot to prove with his statistics at the combine. Ojabo did not participate in the bench press or the three-cone drill, however, his results in the other drills were nothing short of incredible.

Ojabo ran a 4.55-second 40-yard dash, the fifth-best of the edge rushers at the combine. His 20-yard shuttle was on the slower side compared to other rushers at only 4.45 seconds, however, only ten defensive ends participated in this drill. Ojabo also had a 35-inch vertical jump and a 122-inch broad jump– one of the longer broad jumps among the defensive ends.

With Ojabo’s impressive performance at the combine and his noticeable presence every time he is on the field, it is unlikely that teams will overlook him just because of his lack of experience.

He showed how versatile he could be for the Wolverines last season and constantly improved throughout his college career, improvement that will likely continue at the next level.
