Ex-Wolverines in the 2019 NFL Draft

In keeping up with the NFL Draft, it was impossible to miss when a couple former Michigan commits came off the board. The Wolverines lost two running back commits in the 2015 class, and both of them were drafted – while Michigan’s signees at the position (Karan Higdon, Chris Evans) went undrafted and got suspended, respectively.

Hit the jump for a rundown of former Michigan commits and players who were involved in the draft this past weekend.
