Michigan seemed to have produced its best NFL Draft class ever in 2016, sending 11 players to the pros. After only 34 combined starts between the Wolverine rookies in 2017, the excitement dimmed.
According to ESPN, year two should yield better results, particularly for the two captains from that 2016 team.
Jake Butt and Chris Wormley appear on an ESPN insider article “The NFL’s Top 25 breakout prospects for 2018,” with the former ranking No. 17 and the latter slated at No. 19.
Butt tore his ACL in his final game in the Orange Bowl, but the Denver Broncos drafted him in the fifth round anyways.
