David Ojabo had a slow start to his time in Ann Arbor. Then, the pass-rusher put things together with an elite performance during the 2021 season.
Playing alongside Aidan Hutchinson, Ojabo put up 12 TFL and 11 sacks while forcing 5 fumbles. Now, Ojabo is in Indianapolis to take part in the NFL Combine.
Friday morning, Ojabo and other prospects met with the media ahead of their workout day. Among other things, Ojabo said he expects to shine during the 40-yard dash portion of the day.

Ojabo also discussed his start to play football, saying he was pushed around by smaller players early on. That helped ignite Ojabo’s competitive drive to get better.

“When I first started playing I was getting smacked around by little dudes. I’m a natural born competitor and that didn’t sit right. I had to flip a switch.”
