If Ryan Hayes was looking to improve his NFL Draft stock, he might have done it in a big way at the Senior Bowl. He delivered a monster block and sent a Notre Dame star to the ground in the process.

Hayes threw Isaiah Foskey to the turf with a huge pancake block on Wednesday. It was quite the showing considering he was going up against the Fighting Irish’s sacks leader in 2022. Then again, Hayes was part of a unit that repeated as the Joe Moore Award winner.

Talk about making a statement.

Hayes mostly took his reps at right tackle, as On3 and The Wolverine’s Clayton Sayfie wrote from Mobile. He was a key part of the Michigan offensive line as the Wolverines won their second straight Big Ten title and made it to the College Football Playoff, where they lost to TCU in a Fiesta Bowl for the ages.

Adam Schefter explains how discussions fell through between Jim Harbaugh, Denver Broncos

Jim Harbaugh was a top candidate for the Denver Broncos job but he announced his return to Michigan, not the NFL. ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed how the discussions fell through.

Harbaugh and the Broncos actually met last week, according to Schefter. Despite Harbaugh putting it to bed earlier this month, the Broncos kept swinging.

Ultimately the meeting, which was in person, did not lead to a deal.

“They met with him again last week, again in Ann Arbor, on Monday,” Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show. “The facts are the facts: they met again and I think — no deal materialized and both sides went their own way. Okay, but they hadn’t met in person. They just did a virtual call the first time. 

“And so they wanted to meet in person, see what it was about and for whatever reason, they decided not to get it done. And so, I think Denver’s shown that it’s willing to swing big. I think it will continue to try to swing big. Whoever that is, we’ll see what they’re gonna do, Pat.”
