I have done my best to list as many relevant players for Michigan fans as possible using NFL.com’s Draft Tracker. Some of these players were offered by Michigan, so you may remember watching their high school highlights or hoping they would sign with Michigan three to five years ago. Some of them also attended Big Ten schools, so you may remember watching them frequently during the last three to five years.
All of them have accomplished a great feat, and special congratulations go to the guys highlighted in blue. Go Blue!
