'I like being the hammer': Michigan's Hassan Haskins set to prove worth at NFL combine

Indianapolis — Hassan Haskins, whose 20 rushing touchdowns last season set a Michigan single-season record, has never been one to talk much.

He's a doer, not a talker.

Haskins, who is coming off a high ankle sprain suffered during the Orange Bowl national semifinal on New Year’s eve, is at the NFL Scouting Combine hoping his on-field contributions to the Wolverines last season — 1,327 yards on 270 carries to lead the team averaging 94.8 yards rushing — speak enough for him.

“Just prove to everybody I can be that back in the NFL and I can play,” Haskins said Thursday when asked his goals this week at the combine.
