The last time Michigan football sent more than three players to the NFL in one draft was 2008. That class featured names like Jake Long, Chad Henne, Shawn Crable and Mario Manningham.
It’ll take something spectacular to see less than a few names called in the 2017 NFL Draft. In fact, it might even be good enough to pass Ohio State’s mark of 12 last year. That could be an outlier of a goal, but Michigan is definitely going to be well represented in this draft.
Including players that won’t be drafted but could still end up on training camp rosters, some scouts believe the Wolverines could have as many as 24 rookies in the league next season.
