John Michael Schmitz wants to be the man in the arena. In doing so, he’s literally the man in the middle. A four-year starter at center for Minnesota, he wants to be the guy in charge, the leader, the voice, the player teammates can count on. That’s what he expressed in his Saturday Combine interview.
“You’re truly the middle guy in the group,” he told the group, including our Jonathan Heitritter and Joe Clark. “You got your left side, you got your right side, and you’re the guy that sees the whole picture. You’re the guy that lets the o-line know that you’re in command, that you’re the leader, that you’re in charge of all the communication that goes up front.
