Keep it locked here as we provide updates all weekend long on how the Michigan Wolverines' football players are performing at the NFL combine in Indianapolis.
We will have the latest on how they all do in their on-field drills, what's being said about them by analysts and more.
Three U-M offensive linemen will be going through workouts today — Mike Onwenu, Cesar Ruiz and Jon Runyan — while Ben Bredeson will sit out the physical portion with injury.
8:50 PM:
8:31 PM:
8:29 PM — Ruiz's 33" vertical jump is tied for the fourth best mark among offensive linemen.
8:27 PM:
7:14 PM — Hudson's 30 reps of 225 pounds were the most among linebackers at the combine.
7:11 PM — "Ruiz is so good on every single drill," O'Hara said as he watched the center going through a lateral movement exercise. "He just looks so good."
"He knocks it out of the park," Eisen added.
7:03 PM — Ruiz delivers a much more accurate shotgun snap.
6:56 PM — Ruiz delivers a slightly inaccurate shotgun snap off to the right in a snapping drill.
6:48 PM — "To snap, to step and to clear that block ... he's looking really good. I think he's making a big statement today," former NFL center Shaun O'Hara said of Ruiz following a snapping and then pulling drill.
6:40 PM — Ruiz and Runyan both run around several cones flawlessly.
6:35 PM — Ruiz delivers a perfect snap from under center and then proceeds to run around a cone in the current drill the offensive linemen are doing.
"He's a really good player and my No. 37 overall player," Jeremiah revealed.
Runyan then proceeded to do the same drill, running around a cone beautifully.
6:31 PM:
6:26 PM — "He's a fun player to watch," an NFL Network analyst said of Runyan as he went through an agility drill. "Imagine the pressure for him growing up as Jon Runyan's son. It's a pretty cool moment that he got to go to Michigan. I trust that kid, because he's been battling his whole life."
6:25 PM — "Ruiz moving very well in this drill, doing a great job keeping his hips down and keeping his base reacting quickly. He's done a nice job and had a great 40 as well and a great 10-yard sprint," an NFL Network analyst observed as Ruiz went through a back and forward pedaling drill.
"He has outstanding football instincts and awareness," Jeremiah added. "He'll be a Day 1 starter."
6:07 PM — Runyan posts a 5.13 on his second attempt at the 40, after registering a 5.08 on his first try.
Both Runyan and Ruiz recorded identical figures on each of their 40 tries.
6:06 PM — Ruiz tallies a 5.13 on his second attempt at the 40, after running a 5.08 the first time around.
5:57 PM — Viper Khaleke Hudson puts up 30 reps on the bench press.
5:49 PM — Like Ruiz, Runyan also records a 5.08 on his first 40-yard dash.
"Not bad," NFL Network host Rich Eisen said of Runyan's time.
5:49 PM — Ruiz runs a 5.08 on his first attempt at the 40-yard dash.
"He's my top interior lineman, right behind [Iowa's Tristan] Wirfs," NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah said. "He's my 37th overall player."
5:45 PM — The second group of offensive linemen are now running their 40-yard dashes, and Onwenu's name is not included (they are listed in alphabetical order).
5:28 PM — Onwenu puts up 26 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press.
5:11 PM — Shea Patterson records a 31" vertical jump, which ranks as the fifth best mark among quarterbacks.
5:04 PM — The first group of offensive linemen is currently going through all their drills, but Onwenu, Ruiz and Runyan won't work out until the second group goes later today.
