NFL Draft Profile: Andrew Vastardis’ leadership, experience should earn him a shot at being picked

Andrew Vastardis came to the Michigan Wolverines as a walk-on and is leaving as a potential Day 3 selection in April’s NFL Draft. It took time — six years to be exact — for the former two-star prospect to get to this point, but he left his mark on an offensive line that would be named the toughest in college football with the Joe Moore Award.

The 6-foot-3, 294-pounder made 18 career starts while playing in 31 games in Ann Arbor, and now is hoping to play at the next level.

Pros

  • Intelligent player: Vastardis is a four-time Academic All-Big Ten Honoree.
