It took a while, but Michigan had three players get drafted over the weekend by NFL teams during the draft.

Defensive tackle Willie Henry was drafted in the fourth round (132nd) by the Baltimore Ravens. The Detroit Lions drafted center Graham Glasgow in the third round (95th) and quarterback Jake Rudock in the sixth round (191st).

Henry was a fourth-year junior from Cleveland who left the Wolverines with a year of eligibility left. He record 10 tackles for a loss and 6.5 sacks in 2015 for the Wolverines.

Glasgow was an All-Big Ten honorable mention in 2015, making 37 starts over 42 games for Michigan. He will reunite with Rudock, who could be seen as a valuable backup to Matthew Stafford and the Lions.

Rudock played for Michigan in 2015 after playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2013 and 2014. With the Wolverines, Rudock passed the ball for 3,017 yards, 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He helped lead the Wolverines to a 10-3 record, ending the season with a 41-7 win over the Florida Gators in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.
