Devin Gil, Ex-Wolverine

Rising fifth year linebacker Devin Gil announced on Tuesday that he would be transferring elsewhere for his final year of eligibility.

Gil was a part of the 2016 class that brought teammates Gil, Josh Metellus, and Devin Bush, Jr. from Charles P. Flanagan High School to Michigan. He was a 3-star, the #67 safety, and #997 overall. I initially gave him a TTB Rating of 58 (LINK) and bumped it up to a 63 after his senior year (LINK).

What NFL teams like drafting Michigan players?

Based on the complete list of NFL draftees from the Michigan Wolverines over the years (LINK), I wanted to take a look at which franchises go after Wolverines most often. Naturally, some teams are limited by shorter lifespans than others, but I’m going to stick to raw data because I don’t think this is important enough or worthwhile enough to break it down further. It’s just an interesting little exercise.
