LB Michael Barrett

The Michigan linebacker didn’t participate in any testing or drills.

Key quote: Barrett — “Mental toughness, I feel like I showed a lot to myself throughout my career at Michigan, just showed how versatile I am, how I can pretty much overcome anything; with God in my corner, I feel like I can get through anything that’s thrown at me.”

LB Junior Colson

Colson sat out the workouts due to a hamstring injury, according to NFL Network.

Key quote: NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah — “You talk about a big linebacker, who played last year with the broken hand — shows you the toughness. You couldn’t keep him off the field. The comparison when I watched him was [former Michigan linebacker] David Harris. Leadership, toughness, excellent, excellent player with the Jets. To me, this is a top-50 pick every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I think whoever gets him is going to get somebody they can plug into the middle of their defense and let him roll.”

DT Kris Jenkins

40-yard dash: 4.91 seconds (fifth among 19 defensive tackles)
10-yard split: 1.70 seconds (sixth among 19 defensive tackles)

20-yard shuttle: 4.78 seconds (seventh among 11 defensive tackles)
Bench press: 29 reps (tied second among 10 defensive tackles)

Key quote: NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah — “He is a physical freak. When your nickname is ‘The Mutant,’ that means you’re pretty darn athletic. And at his size, you’re going to see him move really, really well.”

DE Jaylen Harrell

40-yard dash: N/A
10-yard split: N/A
Vertical jump: 37.00″ (tied fourth among 25 defensive ends)

Bench press: N/A

Key quote: NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah — “You can say this about all these Michigan guys: He plays with tremendous effort.”

DE Braiden McGregor

The Michigan edge rusher suffered a high ankle sprain at the Senior Bowl and didn’t go through drills or testing at the combine.

Key quote: McGregor — “I’m a really selfless guy. I don’t really need to be in the spotlight or anything. At Michigan, we had so many guys that were so good that it doesn’t really matter for me if I’m the spotlight or if I’m the guy over in the corner not getting any interviews. At the end of the day, I just want [NFL teams] to know that I’m coming here to play ball; I’m not coming here to be a social media influencer or anything like that, so that’s just something big.”

CB Mike Sainristil

40-yard dash: 4.47 seconds (tied 15th among 29 cornerbacks)
10-yard split: 1.51 seconds (tied ninth among 29 cornerbacks)
Vertical jump: 40.00″ (seventh among 27 cornerbacks)

3-cone drill: 6.99 seconds (fourth among eight cornerbacks)
20-yard shuttle: 4.01 seconds (second among 10 cornerbacks)
Bench press: 14 reps (fifth among nine cornerbacks)

Key quote: ESPN.com’s Jordan Reid — “Sainristil is at the top of that nickel cornerback group. He solidified himself as a late-Day 2 prospect on Friday. … As a converted receiver, his ball skills and change-of-direction ability really stand out. … Teams that are looking for an immediate starter at nickel have to be excited about Sainristil’s workout.”

CB Josh Wallace

40-yard dash: N/A
10-yard split: N/A
Vertical jump: (tied 21st among 27 cornerbacks)
Broad jump: 10’0″ (tied 22nd among 26 cornerbacks)
3-cone drill: N/A
20-yard shuttle: 4.35 seconds (tied 10th among 10 cornerbacks)
Bench press: 13 reps (tied sixth among nine cornerbacks)

Key quote: Wallace — “A year ago, I would’ve never thought I’d be in this position, so I’m just taking it day by day and embracing the moment. Being at Michigan played a huge role in it, being on a bigger scale or on the map, as you say, and the competition throughout the year that was lacking, I guess, at UMass, so that helped out.”

TE AJ Barner

The Michigan tight end went through drills but didn’t run the 40-yard dash or do any testing at the combine.

Key quote: Barner — “I wanted to go somewhere and compete for a national championship, I wanted to go somewhere to win and I wanted to go somewhere to be challenged every single day. Michigan checked all the boxes. My personality — I’m a blue-collar, disciplined kid. I fit right in with the winged helmet. The style of offense that we played and the program that Michigan runs I feel is as similar as it’s gonna get [to the NFL].”

Key quote: NFL Network reporter Peter Schrager — “He looked really good in the drills. I love that he’s competing and doing it all. Obviously, it’s the college production and the name brand stats, but I got a text here that said Corum runs so smooth, and that’s what you want to see.”

OL Zak Zinter

Zinter is still recovering from his broken fibula and tibia suffered Nov. 25 against Ohio State. He plans to bench press and “move around” at Michigan’s March 22 pro day but didn’t participate in testing or drills at the combine. He said he should be fully healthy in a month and a half.

Key quote: Zinter — “I’ve had a hell of a career. I was having a hell of a last season. I ended up getting hurt toward the end of last season, and I think that put a lot of doubt in some media’s head, but I think there were a lot of misconceptions of what happened, if it was an ACL or ankle or whatnot. But it was just bone. They put a rod in there, and I’m just letting it heal up. It’s going to be stronger than it was before, so that’s not a huge concern for me. I feel like my game speaks for itself.”
