Michigan's veteran defensive line not afraid to look into NFL future

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan senior Chris Wormley has lined up on the outside edge of tight ends, head-to-head with centers, and everywhere in between on the Wolverines’ defensive line during the first three weeks of training camp.

Wormley said he’s happy to be able to help his current team in a myriad of ways depending on what situations arise this fall, but the defensive end can’t help but think about how this added versatility might also be setting him up to help NFL teams in the fast-approaching future.

“Hopefully, at the next level I’ll be able to show scouts and coaches and GMs that I can not only play outside but play inside and be pretty versatile at both positions,” Wormley said Wednesday afternoon at Michigan’s practice facility.
