Mahlman's Pro Day Shines, NFL Teams Take Notice

0:00On March 8th, Riley Maulman, a five-year offensive tackle for the Wisconsin Badgers with over 2,800 career snaps, is working hard. To catch NFL Scouts eyes, ahead of the draft. He missed out on the NFL Combine Invite, but shown at the East West Shrine Bowl and Wisconsin's pro day this week, where reps from all 32 teams, washes drills and chatted with him directly. Earlier this season, Maulman switched from right tackle, his spot for four years, to left tackle after the first week, a move that steadied his team, and highlighted his skills. At 6 foot 8 and 320 pounds, this first utility makes him stand out as a potential swing tackle who can step in on either side, without missing a beat. Scouts have taken notice of his growth, especially how he played his best football late in the year, with rising confidence on the new side. His keep bringing up the switch and talks, seeing it as proof he can handle the big tin grind and adapt quickly in past protection and runs.

1:00Maulman impressed with quick reactions, balance, and a strong punch during pro day workouts, building on his 42 college starts. While he's projected as a day three pick at best, or maybe undrafted, his experience positions him perfectly for a defforal, ready for injuries. As the draft nears, Maulman stays focused on the process, trusting the right team will see his value and give him that shot to contribute right away.
