Since Jim Harbaugh took over as head coach at the University of Michigan, perhaps no unit has excelled more than defensive end. Of the six names below — including honorable mention — four players were selected in the first round of the NFL Draft and all six were drafted in the first three rounds.
Again this is not a statistical ranking, but a celebration of five era-defining edge defenders. The top two of this list are unassailable no matter how you slice it, but that leaves four deserving players for three spots. Apologies to any remaining Luiji Vilain truthers.
