Michigan Seniors in the 2023 NFL Draft

Most of the NFL Draft is comprised of seniors who spent four years in college before attempting to enter the pros. This allows those who don't break out early to continue their development in hopes of closing out their collegiate careers strong.

Michigan has eight seniors looking to make the jump to the NFL. This group is headlined by tight end Luke Schoonmaker, who is projected as a fourth-round pick. He's joined by wide receiver Ronnie Bell, tight end Joel Honigford, offensive tackle Ryan Hayes, center Olusegun Oluwatimi, cornerback Gemon Green, kicker Jake Moody, and punter Brad Robbins.
