The University of Michigan’s football team, following a championship season, saw several key defensive players drafted in 2024, including potential first-round picks Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant, and Will Johnson, despite a down year. Graham, an athletic defensive tackle, showcased his disruptive abilities despite injuries, while Grant excelled as a powerful nose tackle, both demonstrating skills that make them first-round candidates. Johnson, once a top prospect, faced injury setbacks but retains first-round potential due to his previous performance, highlighting Michigan’s continued NFL talent pipeline from its championship defense.
