North Dakota State OT Cody Mauch is working at center today. Worked at guard yesterday. Came out of NDSU as a tackle, so he’s showcasing himself with some versatility.

NDSU OL Cody Mauch has been pretty dominant in these POA drills. Especially considering he he hasn’t played any guard before. Taking reps on both sides & looks great everywhere. #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/wEDnKfUY7l

Cody Mauch the 6’6” OT/OG from NDSU had ups and downs.
— Clay Harbor (@clayharbs82) February 1, 2023
He showed good quickness and toughness as well as blocking to the whistle but also whiffed on a few blocks. I think he can be coached into a SOLID OG. Reminds me of Tevin Jenkins. #NFLDraft #SeniorBowlPractice #NFLTwitter pic.twitter.com/MqFi7jKpdF
