The late-blooming mauler who earned his stripes at Michigan State
In his 2010 senior season at Michigan State, J'Michael Deane started all 13 games at right tackle and helped the Spartans’ offense grind out 297 rushing yards in the opener, a strong sign of his power in the run game. He was praised for persistence after switching from defense to offense, and coaches repeatedly highlighted his size, strength, and toughness. If you want a lineman with a nasty edge, developmental upside, and a proven willingness to battle through change, Deane fits the bill.
