What stands out?
Elflein is coming off a remarkably impressive season with Ohio State.
He had shoulder surgery in May to remove a cyst that pinched a nerve and essentially prevented him from using his left arm. But he rebounded from the injury and made a successful transition from guard to center, winning the Rimington Trophy for the nation’s best center.
“No matter what, you’re going to face adversity in life, no matter if on the football or in life, family, whatever it may be,” said Elflein, who benched pressed 225 pounds 22 times Thursday and added he wants to achieve more repetitions at Ohio State’s pro day on March 23.
