Ann Arbor — Michigan had 14 of its players from last year’s team at the NFL Combine, but offensive lineman Kyle Kalis was not among them.
He and Michigan offensive lineman teammate Erik Magnuson, who had participated in postseason scouting bowls, thought the obvious next step would be combine invites. They never came.
Kalis, who made 43 career starts at guard for the Wolverines, remained in Chandler, Arizona, where he has been working out since Jan. 1 at O-Line Performance. LeCharles Bentley, the former Buckeye and NFL Pro Bowl center and guard, started the invitation-only training club for NFL offensive linemen in 2008.
