Michigan Wolverines Football: 30 greatest players of all-time

During the 1990s, Glen Steele became a dominant figure on the Michigan defense, and finished up his career as one of the best players in school history. A product of West Noble High School in Ligonier, Indiana, Steele made his way to Ann Arbor for the 1994 season. He would play so well that he would eventually play in the NFL.

Steele actually had a redshirt season in 1993, before playing four seasons with the Wolverines. During that time, Steele helped Michigan to a national title in 1997, earning the Dick Katcher Award as the top defensive lineman in the program.

At the time of his graduation, Steele had racked up 24 quarterback sacks, which was good for the No. 2 mark all-time in school history. An All-Big Ten and All-American selection in 1997, Steele would end up being drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the 1998 NFL Draft. He had a pretty long career at the next level.

Playing in 80 consecutive games, Steele earned a reputation as being an iron man in the NFL, before retiring after the 2003 season. His four-year run at Michigan was one of the best for any player to play along the defensive line. Steele is a big reason that the Wolverines were able to take home that national title in 1997.
