INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS the East‑West Shrine Game Jan. 23 and the Senior Bowl Jan. 30. "He was dominant from the word go," said NFL Draft analyst and publisher of DraftInsider.net Tony Pauline, who was in Shreveport, La., for the Shrine Game practices. "He looked the part and played to it. He has an NFL lineman's body — a big, thick lower body. He was powerful at the offensive center position. He controlled everybody that he got his hands on. I saw him do some drills at guard, and he looked good. "What really surprised me was his ability to block in motion. When you've got a guy that big, you don't expect him to move well on his feet." A 13‑game starter at center for the Wolverines in 2015 (and a 12‑game starter at left guard in 2014), Glasgow brings versatility to the interior of the offensive line. NFL.com writer Lance Zier‑ lein, who also evaluated Glasgow, is higher on Henry, giving the 6‑3, 311‑pounder a grade of 6.09, which equates to "should become an instant starter." He writes: "Henry is an athletic three‑technique who turns 21 in March and should continue to add functional mass and power to battle and win at the point of attack. "Henry's sack numbers were bol‑ stered by his work in [tackle/end] twists and might not be indicative of his ability to beat pass protection consistently, but his understanding of twists and close out quickness could keep him on the field on third downs. "Henry should find his way into a starting lineup sooner rather than later." A starter in 10 of 13 games this sea‑ son for the Wolverines, Henry tied for the team lead in sacks with 6.5 and ranked second in tackles for loss with 10.0 among his 34 total stops. For his career, he played in 36 games, starting 23, and recorded 10 sacks and 18.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage among his 86 total tackles. Henry's departure was a little bit of a surprise for Michigan, as the Wol‑ verines were counting on the Cleve‑ land native to return for his senior year and anchor a stout defensive line. Henry has not spoken extensively about his decision to leave, simply posting on Twitter that "my family and I thought this was the right time and choice for me." Meanwhile, linebacker Joe Bolden, who participated in the East‑West Shrine Game, was viewed among the biggest combine snubs by NFL.com's Chase Goodbread. "The Wolverines' team captain led Michigan with 83 tackles and had some impressive moments the week of the East‑West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Fla., three weeks ago," Goodbread wrote. "Not lacking for toughness or instincts, it's athleticism that's the primary draft question on Bolden." Glasgow will perform Feb. 26 on the first day of workouts while Henry is slated to work out for scouts and NFL brass Feb. 28.
