Michigan Football News: Five Players To Play In Senior Bowl

The Michigan Wolverines will be well represented at the Senior Bowl with five players - CB Jourdan Lewis, DL Chris Wormley, DT Ryan Glasgow,  WR Amara Darboh and LB Ben Gedeon - all accepting invitations to play in the game, which will be held on Jan. 28 in Birmingham, Alabama.

Michigan leads all schools with five players playing in the game. They almost had one more, but defensive end Taco Charlton declined an invitation in order to put his full focus on Michigan's pro day and the NFL Combine.

Michigan also has the most players playing in this weekend's East-West Shrine Game with seven - RB De'Veon Smith, OL Kyle Kalis, OL Erik Magnuson, DT Matt Godin, CB Channing Stribling, S Delano Hill and S Dymonte Thomas (S).

Wide receiver Jehu Chesson is not participating in either game, nor is tight end Jake Butt, who is recovering from a torn ACL. Linebacker Jabrill Peppers is not eligible to play since he is not a receiver.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh said he expects Michigan to have at least 10 players drafted this year, which would be the most in school history.
