I also had the chance to speak with Schlauderaff, who you may remember as an Indy target of interest from the East-West Shrine Game. I asked Schlauderaff the question that was probably on everyone’s mind: in a Combine class full of linemen who prepared themselves for a professional career by playing against SEC, Big 12 or Big 10 competition, how much did he feel playing in the Mountain West Conference prepared him to perform well at the Combine and situate himself to have a good NFL career? Schlauderaff advised that during his time at Utah, the Utes had some challenging out-of-conference opponents and quickly clarified that the MWC was an extremely-underrated conference. He felt the competition was adequate to prepare him to play against the best. I also asked him if the Colts had shown interest in him and he confirmed that they had spoken with him.
