SI.com: Disciplined, down-to-earth Michael Bennett anchors Ohio State D-line

Nice piece, here's a little bit:

He’ll be defined more by his on-field production than his off-field antics. Bennett says he changed his diet, loading up on meats and good carbs like rice, and added 15 pounds in the offseason while cutting his body fat from somewhere in the 20s to 18 percent. He is leaner but just as quick. Bennett also worked on footwork and what Johnson, his position coach, calls “flipping his hips” to get a better pass-rush angle. He worked to use his hands better, too, to help manage inevitable double-teams.

Bennett and defensive end Joey Bosa are primed to front a dominant defense in pursuit of a Big Ten title at minimum.

This guy just might be the most important player on defense. I say this not to slight anyone else, it just seems like when he is dominating inside (MSU, Wisconsin), the whole defense plays better. The inside LB's are free to flow, the edge guys are 1 on 1, and the DB's benefit from the inside pressure. Hope his health and high level of play continue throughout the playoffs.
