Former Michigan tight end Zach Gentry will join his teammate, linebacker Devin Bush, in Pittsburgh.
Gentry was drafted by the Steelers with the 141st overall pick in the fifth round on Saturday, and was the Wolverines’ fifth player taken in the draft. The Steelers traded up in the first round to select Bush with the 10th overall pick. Rashan Gary also was a first-round pick, and Chase Winovich and David Long were taken in the third round Friday night.
It has been quite a journey for Gentry since arriving at Michigan as a highly regarded quarterback. He was converted to tight end with his 6-foot-8 frame and decided after the Peach Bowl to leave with a year of eligibility remaining.
