The Michigan Insider | Behind the Uniform with Mason Graham - Our defense has a chance to be better than last year @TheMichiganInsider | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In this episode of Behind the Uniform - Season 2 - we feature junior defensive tackle, Mason Graham. One of the centerpieces of the Michigan defense, Graham talks at length about how this year's unit is responding to adversity, disrespect and developing younger players to take over larger roles. Graham also discusses how he prepared for an increased workload this season with tailored workouts and a focus on nutrition. He also spends time detailing how he has had to navigate through the new world of NIL - in part by visiting The University of Michigan Credit Union for their financial literacy session - prioritizing time to spend with family, and going through his thought process after former Head Coach, Jim Harbaugh, and others left for their NFL coaching opportunities.
