Only the Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide had more players selected in the 2023 Draft than the Michigan Wolverines. Brad Robbins was one of the most significant picks at the draft as he headed to the Cincinnati Bengals. The former Michigan punter was a three-time All-Big Ten honoree during his time with the Wolverines. He was also rated as a one-time No 1 punter according to Kornblue Kicking.
Robbins will now be joining DJ Turner who was picked in No. 60 at the second round of the draft. Prior to Turner, Mazi Smith was picked in the first round at No. 26 while coming several picks behind was Luke Schoonmaker who emerged in the draft at pick 58. Both players will be making their way to the Dallas Cowboys.
The Seahawks wasted no time drafting Mike Morris and Olusegun Oluwatimi into their team. Oluwatimi was one of the stars behind the Wolverines offensive powerhouse last season. He went home with the Outland Trophy and Rimington Award for his lineman performances in college football tournaments. The entire offensive line would go on to win the Hoe Moore Award in 2022.
Still on players picked in twos, the San Francisco 49ers made a steal with Jake Moody who was selected to join them as pick No. 99. They further picked Ronnie Bell at No. 253. Bell was 2018 Rookie of the Year and 2022 Offensive Skill Player of the Year while he played college football as a wide receiver with the Wolverines.
Ryan Hayes was one of the last Michigan Wolverines to be selected, with the Miami Dolphins picking him at No. 238. Gemon Green also found an impressive NFL opportunity just after the draft with the New York Giants signing the cornerback as a rookie free agent.
The drafting of Jake Moody and Brad Robbins signified the first time in 40 years that the same college team would have a kicker and a punter selected in the same draft.
