The athleticism he exhibits at that size is incredible. I would venture a guess that he is the fastest of all the lineman recruited by Coach Hoke over the last two years. Could definitely use a touch more of a mean streak, but you can't teach that level of athleticism at 325 pounds. Seems as if there should be more film of his pass blocking acumen because Rockford is notorious for a diverse offense with a healthy dose of passing. I got the chance to watch Rockford and Detroit Catholic Central in the semis last year to see Godin and Braden up close. FYI, I don't think Shallman played much as he was nursing a season long injury. DCC was purported to have an excellent pass rush but I don't recall the RHS QB ever being sacked, let alone hit despite 20 or 25 passes. Braden will be a beast at UM and is highly under-rated in my estimation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-40145426973493111012012-02-28T17:35:35.553-05:002012-02-28T17:35:35.553-05:00No problem - thanks for the question!No problem - thanks for the question!TTB Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360667391085484476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-19457180287604106002012-02-28T09:00:40.788-05:002012-02-28T09:00:40.788-05:00I can't even imagine what this kid is going to...I can't even imagine what this kid is going to look like after 4 years in a college weight room and with the strength staff.

I think Magnuson and Bars probably have more upside than Braden, but Braden is more ready right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-34521903603241421902012-02-28T07:33:09.146-05:002012-02-28T07:33:09.146-05:00Color me Kubrick, but of all our Michigan OL recru...Color me Kubrick, but of all our Michigan OL recruit videos, Bradens looks the best.
