TRUE STATEMENT: Being selected in the NFL Draft is an awesome accomplishment.

ALSO A TRUE STATEMENT: I remember people talking about Kalen King prior to 2023 like he was a first round pick.

Which #Michigan player from the 2024 NFL Draft will have the best pro career?

#Michigan is now down to 85 scholarship players after the post-spring transfers (so far) - touch-the-banner.com/2024-scholarsh…

It's a little frustrating when a 4-star linebacker transfers out after one season on campus, but then you realize he was recruited by George Helow, coached by Chris Partridge (who was fired), then coached by a retired coach (Rick Minter), and then coached by Brian Jean-Mary.

Can we fast forward to when college football players are treated as employees and have to play out their contracts, please?

They should get paid. And they should do what they're getting paid to do.

Let's be done with all this nonsense.

The search for Kirk Cousins’s replacement continues, and the Falcons must have already fallen out of love with Michael Penix, Jr.

Whenever someone new gets added to a booth, I always wonder who was forced out and where they went.

For example, what is Dennis Miller doing now?

And what ever happened to that O.J. Simpson guy?

My comparison for 3rd rounder Roman Wilson when he committed to #Michigan was Mercury Hayes.

Wilson career: 107 catches, 1707 yards, 20 TD
Hayes career: 116 catches, 2031 yards, 11 TD

Here was my take on 3rd round OG Zak Zinter back when he committed to #Michigan :

Here was my take on 2nd round cornerback Mike Sainristil coming out of high school:

Here's my take on J.J. McCarthy back in 2019...side by side with Daniel Jeremiah's comparison in 2024:

Here was my take on 3rd rounder Blake Corum when he committed to #Michigan :

The best thing to happen for #Michigan State football in the past couple years was when . . .

. . . #Michigan *only* had 13 players drafted in 2024.

For better or worse, #Michigan has never had more 7th round draft picks than in 2024:

LB Michael Barrett to the Panthers (#240)
OG La'Darius Henderson to the Texans (#249)
DE Jaylen Harrell to the Titans (#252)
WR Cornelius Johnson to the Chargers (#253)

With four selections in the 3rd round (Colson, Corum, Wilson, Zinter), #Michigan tied a program record for the number of players taken in that stanza.

Michigan also had four players taken in 2017's 3rd round:

Chris Wormley
Jourdan Lewis
Delano Hill
Amara Darboh

Over the past three drafts, #Michigan has had at least one player drafted from every position:

QB: McCarthy
RB: Corum, Haskins
WR: Bell, Johnson, Wilson
TE: Barner, Schoonmaker
OT: Hayes, Stueber
OG: Henderson, Keegan, Zinter
C: Oluwatimi
DE: Harrell, Hutchinson, Morris, Ojabo

The Philadelphia Eagles drafted #Michigan OG Trevor Keegan at #172 overall.

The last Michigan player the Eagles selected was DE Brandon Graham (#13 overall in 2010).

#Michigan DT Kris Jenkins, Jr. (#49 overall) was drafted five spots lower than his dad Kris Jenkins (#44 out of #Maryland in 2001).

DT Cullen Jenkins - Kris Jenkins, Sr.'s brother - went undrafted out of CMU in 2003 but had twice as many sacks (49.0) as Kris (24.0).

#Michigan has only had two players drafted at #253 overall in the history of the NFL Draft. Those players are:

2024: WR Cornelius Johnson to the Chargers
2023: WR Ronnie Bell to the 49ers
