Raekwon McMillan, LB, Ohio State

6’2″ 240 pounds

Key Combine Stats: 4.61 forty, 23 reps on bench (225lbs)

What’s to Like: One of the best things you can say about a guy is “he just looks and plays like a football player” and that’s McMillan… A classic read and react guy… Diagnoses plays quickly… Downhill speed is impressive… Organized, gets guys in position… His technique is solid on blockers… Gets arms out and uses hands well… Zone coverage skills are solid; follows QB well and is capable of getting to guys as the throw arrives.
