2023 NFL Draft: Cody Mauch NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a North Dakota native who grew up in Hankinson, Cody Mauch attended NDSU as a walk-on tight end. Through his time there he would put on 70 pounds through the school meal plan, move to the offensive line, and became a force of nature at the position. It\u2019s impossible to miss him in a crowd, his larger-than-life presence, red hair, and two missing front teeth make him memorable to anyone who he meets. He actually lost the two front teeth in seventh grade during a basketball game when he dove for a basketball. If that doesn\u2019t speak to his competitive nature, nothing will.<\/p>\n

Cody Mauch played all five positions across the offensive line and had relative success at all of them. He has a strong football knowledge for an offensive lineman which comes from his high school experience of playing tight end, quarterback, and defensive line. While he may have put on 70 pounds, he hasn\u2019t lost the quickness from being a tight end and rarely is beaten by pure speed alone. He also carries a chip on his shoulder from being a walk on and it is evident from the nastiness in his play, exactly what you want from an offensive lineman. The violence he plays with gets him to the second level quicker than most, and that\u2019s where he can be deadly.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s Napoleon Dynamite videos from his past or celebration videos with his teammates at NDSU, Mauch is a locker-room guy who has the right attitude. He may have lost his two front teeth but that doesn\u2019t stop him from flashing his iconic. Across the four seasons he played at NDSU he only gave up two sacks which is an impressive accomplishment, regardless of the level of competition. Cody Mauch is well suited to make any offensive line he joins better and can easily fit due to his versatility.<\/p>\n
