Michigan's NFL Draft History

 

Cesar Ruiz

Probably like many of you, I occasionally have a hankering for some Michigan NFL Draft history. Below you will find (as far as I'm aware) every pro draft pick in the history of Michigan's football program going all the way back to 1937.

A few little factoids:

• Michigan's only two #1 overall NFL Draft picks are Jake Long in 2008 and Tom Harmon in 1941.
• Michigan set a record in 2024 with 13 total draft picks, topping the 11 from 2017.
• Michigan's record number of 1st round NFL draft picks is a tie with 3 each in 1995 (Tyrone Wheatley, Ty Law, Trezelle Jenkins), 2001 (David Terrell, Steve Hutchinson, Jeff Backus), and 2025 (Mason Graham, Colston Loveland, Kenneth Grant)

Larry Black, Wolverine

Michigan has hired Vanderbilt's defensive line coach, Larry Black, to be the next defensive tackles coach for the Wolverines. The position was previously held by Lou Esposito, who departed recently for a job with the Baltimore Ravens, where former Michigan defensive coordinator Jesse Minter is now the head coach.

Black played defensive tackle at Indiana from 2009-2013 and is the older brother of former Michigan defensive tackle Jibreel Black, who made 72 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles from 2010-2013. Larry himself got an undrafted free agent contract with the Bengals when he left the Hoosiers.

The elder Black has since coached at Notre Dame (graduate assistant), Toledo, and Vanderbilt. He was the defensive line coach for the Commodores from 2022-2024 but added "run game coordinator" to his title for 2025. Vanderbilt ranked last in the SEC in yards per carry allowed in 2022 and 2023, but they moved up to #14 (out of 16) in 2024 and then #7 in 2025. A similar path existed when it comes to sacks, where they went from last in 2022-2023 to #11 in 2024 and #7 in 2025.

Black has been rumored to be interested in the job the past couple times a defensive line coaching job has opened up at Michigan, but other people were hired. It's unclear what the connection was (if there was one) between Black and new head coach Kyle Whittingham, but Black will now pair with defensive ends coach Lewis Powell to tag team coaching duties on the defensive line.
