EDGE defender Aidan Hutchinson

Hutchinson on how his Michigan career changed him: “I think I’ve just gotten more mature. In my game, I’m a completely different player than what I was my freshman year. You can’t compare to 2018 Aidan to now. I’m completely different and confident in my game. I’m ready to go.”

EDGE defender David Ojabo

Ojabo on his combine experience after breakout at Michigan: “It’s been good so far. They are all trying to get to know me as a player. I wasn’t on the scene last year. They are trying to figure out who David Ojabo is. I’m a Scottish guy born in Nigeria and just trying to learn. Learn a new sport and be the best at it.”

“I’m sure they see my potential. I’m here. I got myself here so I’m sure they see something.”

Defensive tackle Chris Hinton

Hinton on why he declared for the 2022 NFL Draft: “Talking to my dad and his 13 years playing in the NFL with a lot of experience and knowledge about the game and then talking to people in my inner circle, we felt like it was the best decision to leave this year.”

“Being a junior and having that option to come back to Michigan, it’s not an easy decision because it’s always that ‘what if’ situation. I talked to a couple of people and those guys said that whatever decision you make, go full-steam ahead with it.”
