Michigan football legend Mason Graham takes another victory lap over Ohio State
Michigan football defensive tackle Mason Graham will always be undefeated against Ohio State and he’s not shy about taking victory laps.
Graham who laughed in the face of Jack Sawyer following Michigan football’s fourth consecutive win over the Buckeyes in November, told reporters at the NFL scouting combine on Wednesday that his film against Ohio State is the only thing NFL teams should need to see.
Andy Backstrom asked Graham if there was one or two plays from last season that he would want to show NFL teams. The Michigan football legend responded: ““I mean, I feel like just rolling that Ohio State film. That’s all you need to see, really.”

Graham terrorized Ohio State over the past three seasons and boasted a 3-0 record against the Buckeyes during his time with Michigan football.
In 2022, as a true freshman, Graham was credited with three tackles against OSU. He had four tackles, a sack, and a tackle for loss in the 2023 edition of ‘The Game’ before being credited with seven stops last season.
Graham’s impact went beyond that. He pushed the pocket on nearly every pass and allowed Michigan football to stop Ohio State’s run game with just a few guys in the box. That let Wink Martindale play coverage on the backend which completely took Jeremiah Smith out of the game.
You need a Mason Graham to do that and frankly, I think he should be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. At the very least, he shouldn’t make it out of the top five. Defensive tackles like this don’t grow on trees. This is a Warren Sapp or a Ndamukong Suh kind of player. Maybe even Aaron Donald.
Graham has only started to reach his vast potential. There will be even more pass-rush opportunities for him at the next level and against the run, he’s as good as it gets. He’s a gift from the football gods as Jim Harbaugh once said and the consensus All-American will make some NFL team very happy this April.
