The 2020 NFL draft has come and gone and there is one thing you can always count on when watching the draft; a Michigan and Michigan State player will be drafted.
Since the common draft in 1967 Michigan and Michigan State are two of four schools that have had a player drafted in every draft (Florida and USC are the others). Michigan and Michigan State’s streaks also stretch far past the Common Draft era as Michigan has had a player drafted 81 consecutive years while Michigan State has had a player drafted 80 consecutive years.
We have collected a list and information on every player drafted or signed as undrafted free agent from universities in Michigan.
