2024 NFL Draft prospect.
Zen Michalski OT, Ohio State | 6'7", 310lbs.

https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Zen ... -OhioState

SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS
>Excellent quick-twitch movement off the snap in pass protection and as a run blocker.
>Has the feet to adjust when Michalski anticipates what's coming. Effective trapping and bends at the knees with adequate core strength to absorb the bull rush. Can clear a path at the second level if he hits the target.
>Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet.
>Michalski does a nice job working with teammates to build the pocket, anchoring against bull rushers and displaying good awareness against stunts and twists.
>Plays with natural leverage and has the strength to anchor against the bull rush. He also packs a violent initial punch that can stand up pass rushers.
>In the run game, he plays with a mean streak and does a nice job generating a push at the initial point of attack. Michalski can get outside and does a decent job landing blocks in space.

I’m actually quite into Sauerkraut right now.
Lovely snack, very nutritious, low calorie. :drool:

By the way, in Germany we don't only eat Sauerkraut. There is also Blaukraut.

I actually like it better than Sauerkraut. Please don't tell my grandparents, if they were still alive it would probably kill them.
