That said, power is only a piece of their games.
"I take pride in my athleticism," said Stepaniak, a full-time starter the last two years at guard for the Hoosiers. He started 31 games overall and earned third-team All-Big Ten honors from the media as a senior. "I don't think I'm a one-sided player.
"In my final season last year, there wasn't plays I was taking off. (I was) getting after the guy across from me as much as I can and try to make his day not a good day, you know what I'm saying?"
Stepaniak said the timeline on his knee injury, which kept him out of Indiana's bowl game, should have him ready for training camp.
Meanwhile, Hanson (6-4, 303) was a reliable four-year starter at center for Oregon. He learned the position from Notre Dame transfer Matt Hegarty during his redshirt year in 2015, took over the job the following season and never gave it up. He's a two-time, second-team All-Pac-12 honoree with 49 college starts under his belt.
Hanson has added a little more than 10 pounds to his frame since his college career ended. He hoped a little extra size at the combine would improve his draft stock, which he figured was as a Day 3 pick, though he had no idea his suitor would be Green Bay.
