The 2016 Michigan football team has a lot of great players. Defensive tackle Maurice Hurst is one of them.
While much of the attention and the headlines go to guys like Jabrill Peppers and Jourdan Lewis, Hurst quietly put together a stellar season. The fourth-year junior finished with 30 tackles, 9.5 TFL and four sacks.
Lewis and Peppers are both expected to be first-round picks in the 2017 NFL draft. Michigan football also has Chris Wormley, Taco Charlton and Ryan Glasgow, who are all expected to go within the first few rounds.
Yet, Hurst is another Michigan defender that could sneak into the first round.
