Jake Rudock has completed his turnaround with Michigan football, as the Detroit Lions used their sixth-round pick in the NFL draft to the quarterback who didn’t have a future in the pros for most of his career.
If you think back to Rudock’s time at Iowa, he was never going to be an NFL quarterback. He couldn’t make the throws, he was too sheltered, he wasn’t athletic enough, etc. His transfer to Jim Harbaugh and Michigan sparked something unseen from Rudock, and it’s now come full circle.
When Rudock chose Michigan last offseason, there wasn’t a consensus on if he would even be the Wolverines’ starter.
