How was the Outland Trophy winner still on the board in Round 5?
, senior reporter Chris Low singled Oluwatimi out as the player he viewed as “the biggest steal of the draft.”Centers are typically drafted lower than they should be, but seeing Michigan’s Olusegun Oluwatimi slip to the fifth round was surprising — but great news for the Seahawks that they could wait that long to get their center of the future. The 6-3, 310-pound Oluwatimi will play 10 years in the NFL and be a fixture in the middle of that Seattle offensive line.
As part of my research for this article, I came across an excellent article about Oluwatimi that focused on “The article was in The Athletic, which means it’s behind a paywall, but it’s worth reading in its entirety if you have access.The traits that made one of the anchors of Michigan’s offense — his maturity, stability and perseverance — helped him get through a seven-day span in November that tested him to the core.
“It was just kind of like mourning and reaching out to my guys at UVa,” Oluwatimi said. “They were in the locker room with these dudes. They’d just played a game on Saturday with them, and then they’re gone. My friend, two guys in his position group. … He goes to meetings now, and they’re no longer there.”
