I like this kid's attitude and strength. He seems like a really nasty guy.
But Konz shocked some at the combine by posting only 18 reps in the bench press. For comparison, that's three fewer than Michigan receiver Junior Hemingway. Or, reaching further back, the same number as former Wolverines punter Zoltan Mesko in 2010.
For that reason, and others, Molk says it's "uninformed" to rank Konz ahead of him.
"No doubt about it," he added. "I have skills he doesn’t have. Obviously, my strength is far better, I’m faster, I would say I’m smarter. Obviously, he’s an intelligent person, I’ve talked to him, but I just think I have a technique that’s unmatched (by him)."
Molk said during a recent interview he still is upset coaches voted Konz their first-team All-American center. Molk was the first-team selection by The Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America All-America, The Sporting News and the Walter Camp Foundation.
"The fact that I wasn’t a ... consensus All-American pisses me off," he said. "Well, maybe (the coaches) should have checked in to who was All-Big Ten and the lineman of the year in the ... Big Ten before they did some stupid (crap) like that. Its just, stuff like that pisses me off."
