The New England Patriots selected Michigan football offensive lineman Michael Owenu with the 182nd overall pick in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft on Saturday.
He joins fellow Wolverine Josh Uche, who was selected Friday night in the third round, in New England.
Onwenu enters the league after making a dedicated effort to lose weight.
At the NFL scouting combine in February, he tipped the scales at 344 pounds — 18 fewer than he weighed at the East-West Shrine game the previous month.
