FRISCO, Texas – Getting drafted in the first round to the most recognizable franchise in professional sports isn’t an easy situation to walk into. Luckily for former Michigan defensive end Taco Charlton, he prefers to play on the big stage and he has a track record for delivering on those stages.
In a showdown with rival Ohio State with huge national implications last season, Charlton wreaked havoc on the Buckeyes offensive line and finished with 2.5 sacks. In the Orange Bowl against Florida State he had two tackles for losses, five tackles in total, and batted down a pass.
