Mason Graham tells NFL teams 'rolling that Ohio State film' will prove his ability

Mason Graham has an idea of what he’d want to show NFL teams, as far as his highlight film from Michigan is concerned.

Look no further than the Ohio State game this past season, a Wolverines’ upset over the eventual national champions. Sure, Ohio State got the last laugh, but as a Michigan man, Graham isn’t afraid to poke fun at the Buckeyes.

But, his tape speaks for itself. Hence why Graham is expected to go in the top 10 of the 2025 NFL Draft.

“I mean, I feel like just rolling that Ohio State film,” Graham said at the NFL Scouting Combine. “That’s all you need to see, really.”

Ohio State knows, but Graham is what the kids call a “dawg.” He can be a disruptive force in the middle of any NFL team’s defensive line, stuff the run and rush the passer.

“Mason Graham, gosh, he’s so fun,” NFL Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said. “I watched him on tape, and I fell in love with him. I got a chance to go to their game against Oregon, and there are a bunch of personnel guys and GMs down on the field, and we’re walking down there, and I see Mason Graham walk by. And, of course, he’s next to [defensive tackle] Kenneth Grant, his teammate, who looks like a cartoon character, like he looks like an adonis, how big he is.”

Jeremiah might be adjusting his grade on Graham on the fly.

“I’m looking at Mason Graham and the body type and I’m like, ‘Man, maybe I need to adjust my grade.’ Maybe I’m just too high on this guy,” Jeremiah said. “And then I proceeded to watch the game, and I was like, ‘Nope. Nope. He’s just really, really good.’ “So, I hope people don’t overthink it with him as we get to the spring and kinda the further we get away from football. But he’s got crazy elite leverage, balance and instincts. You can see there’s a wrestling background there. He’s just never on the ground. He gets underneath guys.”
