CB Ambry Thomas drafted in third round by San Francisco 49ers

Another Michigan football player is off the board.

Cornerback Ambry Thomas was taken in the third round of the NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers.

Thomas became the fourth Wolverine selected in this year's draft, joining Kwity Paye, who went 21st overall to the Indianapolis Colts and Jalen Mayfield and Nico Collins, who both were selected in the third round.

He was drafted despite opting out of the 2020 season and spending only one season as a full-time starter in Ann Arbor.

The former four-star prospect (Detroit King) played three seasons at Michigan.
