The 2025 NFL Draft is officially in the books, which means that undrafted players are still fielding calls from NFL teams. For the players who weren't drafted, this is their chance to sign with a team and have the opportunity to earn their roster spot in training camps.

Four Michigan players signed as undrafted free agents to four different NFL teams. These guys may not make the 53-man roster in September, but they have the opportunity to work out with an NFL team, learn, and even potentially find their way onto a roster.

Here is every Michigan player who was signed as an undrafted free agent:

  • RB Donovan Edwards: New York Jets
  • OL Josh Priebe: Miami Dolphins
  • DB Makari Paige: New York Giants
  • LS William Wagner: Cincinnati Bengals

Michigan has the third-most players selected in the Big Ten in the 2025 NFL Draft

In total, Michigan has seven players selected in the seven rounds of the NFL Draft. With four players signed as undrafted free agents, that counts as 11 players who have had their dream come true of joining an NFL team.

Michigan was tied with the second most players selected i the first round of the draft, with three selected, and all three were selected in the top 15 picks. Mason Graham was the first Wolverine taken with the No. 5 overall pick by the Cleveland Browns, Colston Loveland was taken with the No. 10 overall pick by the Chicago Bears, and Kenneth Grant was taken with the No. 13 pick by the Miami Dolphins.

Will Johnson was taken in the second round by the Arizona Cardinals, and Josiah Stewart rounded out day two with Josaiah Stewart taken by the Los Angeles Rams. On day three, the Wolverines had two guys selected, with Kalel Mullings being taken in the sixth round by the Tennessee Titans, and Myles Hinton taken by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round as well.

Michigan only trailed Ohio State and Oregon for the number of picks selected in the Big Ten.
