he's an awesome athlete, two time all sec first team left tackle, and an all american. That's all well and good, but his story is as interesting as his decorated football career.

This is a good LT draft class we should try to trade Peters asap and use the pick to draft one of the prospects. We could keep Walker at LT for the year and sign Willie Anderson as a one year fix at RT.

Oher Turns In Strong Workout
All-Southeastern Conference offensive tackle Michael Oher headlined the Mississippi Pro Day as the first-round draft prospect improved his previous 40-yard dash and bench press test numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine.
According to Gil Brandt of NFL.com, Oher ran the 40-yard dash in 5.16 and 5.24 seconds after clocking a relatively pedestrian 5.32 time in February at the Combine.
Plus, Oher bench-pressed 225 pounds 23 times, after managing just 21 at the combine. That number is still lower than most top offensive tackles.
With every NFL team represented at the workout, including New Orleans Saints director of college scouting Rick Reiprish and Green Bay Packers director of player personnel John Dorsey, the 6′5″, 306-pounder drew compliments for his “great footwork,” per Brandt.
“I helped myself big-time today,” Oher told reporters following the workout. “It was more comfortable doing the tests here. This is home.”
Oher’s tough childhood and his vast athletic potential were profiled in The Blind Side, a book by Michael Lewis.
Meanwhile, defensive lineman Peria Jerry, another projected first-round pick, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.98 seconds. He also posted a 31-inch vertical leap and bench pressed 225 pounds 28 times.

His measurables certainly aren't that impressive, especially for a guy who really isn't that big at only 306.
