Glasgow Drafted by Lions in Third Round of NFL Draft

CHICAGO, Ill. -- University of Michigan center Graham Glasgow was selected by the Detroit Lions during the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft held Friday (April 29). The Lions used the 95th overall pick in the draft to choose the fifth-year senior at Roosevelt University.

Glasgow becomes the 31st Wolverine drafted by the Lions all-time. He is the first U-M player chosen by the organization since Jeff Backus was a first-round choice in the 2001 draft.

One of the team's leaders in 2015, Glasgow led the offensive line as the Wolverines won the time of possession battle in 10 games during the season.
