Mike has been an absolute "internet darling" of Buckeye fans since he arrived here, and deservedly so. I can't ever recall a single negative thing ever being posted about Mike in the four years he's been here. He's been a pillar of strength, not only physically but as a human being in general.
As I look at this fine young man and what he's overcome, he is probably the player that I wish greater fortune on than any other player that's departing us. This "dead man walking" is going to WOW scouts at the combines like no other player in the country. After he devastates the previous record of 43 reps by about 10, he's going to go out and run about a 4.5 forty and the scouts eyes will bulge out of their heads. I truly believe that he will put himself in a strong position to go in the 1st Round. The general concensus seems to be that the departing Buckeyes will be drafted in this order:
Hawk
Holmes
Carpenter
Don't be surprised Mike goes second after A.J.
