Michigan Football: 3 undrafted Wolverines who can make NFL rosters

5 former Michigan soccer gamers went within the 2022 NFL Draft, and these guys will all doubtless make NFL rosters of the groups that chosen them. So let’s go over the undrafted free agent offers that Michigan gamers have signed and the highest three with the most effective probability to make a roster.

3 – Brad Hawkins – Atlanta Falcons

Brad Hawkins was signed by the Atlanta Falcons additionally after not being chosen within the draft on Could 1st. Hawkins was the one security signed after the draft by the Falcons, and the Falcons didn’t draft another safeties all through the entire draft course of. Atlanta has beginning safties Richie Grant and Erik Harris, however behind them, Hawkins will be capable to compete for these spots on the depth chart.

Hawkins performed in a ton of video games for the wolverines (51!) and was the word of consistency for the Michigan soccer protection.

Hawkins was not a flashy participant for Michigan, however that’s not what Atlanta is searching for out of him; they’re searching for a stable security to make the sensible performs and maintain down the secondary.

Hawkins recorded over 50 whole tackles twice in his profession with Michigan soccer with 53 in 2019 and 60 this previous season. He additionally recorded two compelled fumbles in 2021. One was an enormous play within the Nebraska recreation by stripping Adrian Martinez to get Michigan the ball by recovering that fumble late within the fourth quarter.

I’m positive Atlanta noticed this capability to carry out late in video games on his recreation movie when learning the Michigan product.

Brad will positive need to struggle for his spot within the league because the NFL is a really cut-throat league, and your job could be taken away from you in a second, however I can see him making Atlanta’s roster in the long term.
