One of the curious aspects of the NFL draft is how often players who are voted to be the best (or among the best) at their position in college football aren’t reckoned to be so by the NFL.
For example, Michigan center Olusegun Oluwatimi was voted both the Rimington Award winner and Outland Trophy winner (the first in Michigan’s history) in 2022. In other words, he was voted the best center and the best interior offensive lineman in the nation last year. And yet, he isn’t getting much buzz at all among draft observers.
That could make him a fantastic value for a team like the New York Giants, who are in desperate need of a center.
