Former Michigan quarterback Jake Rudock had to wait, but was finally chosen by the Lions, which had expressed considerable interest since Michigan's Pro Day last month, in the NFL draft.

Rudock, who led Michigan to a 10-3 record last season and was MVP of the Citrus Bowl, spent his graduate season with the Wolverines after starting two years for the Iowa Hawkeyes

The Lions made him the 191st overall pick in the sixth round.

Center Graham Glasgow was the first former Michigan player selected in the NFL draft, going to the Detroit Lions in the third round.
