Devin Bush Jr. picked up his phone Thursday night and heard Mike Tomlin ask a question he'd been waiting two years to ask.

Michigan's junior All-American linebacker went off the board at No. 10 overall in the NFL draft on Thursday night, becoming the highest U-M selection since offensive tackle Jake Long went No.
