Michigan football won the National Championship back in January, but their victory tour apparently isn't done yet. The Wolverines made an appearance on day two of the NFL Draft with their former now Vikings quarterback announcing their arrival.

Michigan football marched into the draft with "The Victors" blaring on the speakers as they carried the National Championship trophy to the big stage in front of more than 200,000 people, oh and it was on national TV.

The Wolverines capped off their 15-0 season with a National Championship, the first one since 1948. It just so happened to be luck that the NFL Draft was in Detroit the same year Michigan won the National Championship, giving the Wolverines a great opportunity to be showcased on one of the biggest stages in sports.

J.J. McCarthy, who was just drafted by the Minnesota Vikings with the 10th pick in the first round, was shown on the screen before the team was shown. McCarthy talk about how he wished he could be there in Michigan celebrating, but that "a few of his friends" were probably there, setting up the stage for the team to appear.

The champs joined NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on stage as the big screen showed photos of the team's victory back in January over the Washington Huskies. Hundreds of thousands of fans began singing the Michigan fight song with the team, capping off the perfect celebration of the best season in Michigan football history.

What a time to be alive in Michigan right now with the Wolverines winning it all, the Detroit Lions ending their playoff drought, and the city of Detroit hosting the NFL Draft.
